The editing's very gimmicky and horrible and fake, I know..I'm putting it up because that was the only possible way of getting everything to stand out without ruining the dark and white balance.. I mean increasing the light of the darker part part would overexpose the white parts and vice-versa.. This was a tough decision but I don't want to disappoint my wpl team by not participating..
And I've never had prozac so I don't have knowledege of how it looks or should be presented.
The people in favour of non-processed pics will butcher me.. so if I get more than 3.99 I will be happy..
and what the hell happened to my nails..
BTW I did some some basic inverting and grayscale.. and fading.. nothing illegal..I hope..

Urfa..I can't believe this scored that low. I gave you a 10 because I thought this was one of the best ideas and executed very well. Could you tell me exactly how you did this? I am even going to make this one of my favorites.
Very interesting challenge to enter and just as un-dpc friendly the pic..
I liked the composition and the way everything made an impact.. good or bad it was up to the viewer of course.. I really did expect it to go down like a dying duck..
The nails ahem.. I have very nice nails.. dunno why they look like crap in the pic.. (the lady who commented on how nice they looked in the supermarket jinxed them arghh.. long story..) I only noticed them after I uploaded the pic here...
Oh and wow to the people who noticed what the bottle was for.. I didn't even read the label when I picked it up..
What I did to pic ..

Copper
inverse copper
fade with luminosity
I love this effect: speaks about living in a negative state...irony being: whether that's under the influence of the drug or not!! Great idea and fantastic composition.10
Very interesting. The processing both adds and takes away from the shot. I love it on the jar, hands and sleeves. In the hair, table and background, I get lost and have a hard time understanding where I am. It send a stong feel of out of reality and fading away into nothingness. 7
To "out there" for me..nothing to tie the hands together in my feeble mind and the hair is just weird. I do get the point though with the title so for that....
