After chowing down on all this stuff, I expect we'll all need plenty of these. My medical training "made me do it."
"Recipe" These are Safeway brand calcium carbonate USP 500mg/tablet ("assorted fruit flavors") -- generic for TUMS® -- on a demitasse saucer.
Take 2-4 tablets as needed for symptom relief, up to a maximum of 15 tablets/24 hour period. Do not continuously take the maximum dosage for more than two weeks without a professional medical consultation.
Approximately five tablets provide the USRDA for elemental calcium for the normal adult. Chew tablets thoroughly for best absorbtion and rapid action.
Handheld shot in macro mode, incandescent lighting (60w).
Contrast adjusted with RGB Curve, color of saucer shifted with Red Curve to help reduce noise effects. Finished with two passes with USM filter at 88% - 0.6dia - 5 levels.

Yep. I'll need these after all of the food I'll be making--and eating--after this challenge is over! Nice point of view, and I like the informal arrangement of the pills. I would recommend getting even closer, since the lines, shapes and colors around the pills aren't really doing much in terms of helping the photo communicate anything. You may want to experiment more with point of view, too. If this is 'antacid aftermath'--a lovely title, by the way!--how can you best communicate this feeling or mood? Will special lighting or a special background help? Just things to think about. I think this is a solid photo with lots of things going for it. Good luck!
Hey now! Are you that bad a cook? LOL! I know I can be! This is a good idea, the after effects of a great meal. This would have worked much better if you could have gotten more focus on the overall picture and for me, just one or two tablets would have really driven the point home, as they are, it's rather jumbled and confusing. I'm starting with a 6 but I will be back after dinner for some relief :)
I like the idea behind the photo, but I think it needs a few more elements to add interest. I don't have any off the cuff suggestions though. A different colored plate, may be a solution - I don't think that particular color offsets the pale coloring of the tablets very well. Great idea - rather unique, but needs a little better presentation. 4
Can't wait to see your recipe on this one. I realize that it says in the description before, during or AFTER, but I think they were refering to the actual food item, because they did say to add your recipe to the description section of the photo. Anyway, doesn't really fit the challenge in my opinion. The photo itself seem grainy and dark, and not really making me jump out of my seat with excitememt. The colors seem really strange, and that could be because of the odd lighting. Not really my cup of tea. ~Heather~
Hahahahah, I just have to tell you that I was glancing through the thumbnails, and appropriately, this one was the very last one. After looking at all that food, I guess I needed an antacid
That said, I think a closer crop would have been more effective, perhaps leaving out the edge of the plate.
Not terribly interesting to look at. I do like the shadow and highlights in the 'L478' on the center top tablet and would probably tried to arrange it so you saw more of them with different lighting angles depending on location in pile! Good dof, but a touch noisy in the red of the plate (intentional?).
