Props: a small crystal ball, an old and out of date Atlas (the countries in Africa are wrong but the colors were right - color won) two opposing halogen lamps, several white reflector boards and a day's worth of HIV medication.
I used a wedge under the Atlas page to force the reflection I wanted and let me say, I do not know if I could have taken this photograph without the rotating lens capacity of F717 I used.
Post processing: pushed contrast and curves, cleaned a finger print line from the crystal ball, removed a hot spot from the top of the ball and ran it through neat image at 2% levels.

I'm almost done with all the pictures and I must say, this one is the most pro-looking one of the bunch. The light is a little off, but you gathered all your props nicely, they are in a pleasing arrangement within the frame and you have a title that supports the photo. Good job. Not a "wow" photo, but it is a "pro" one.
Edit: Now that I think of it, it would be a better fit with "Newsweek" or some magazine of that type. But you still keep your 10.
Good title/picture connection (looks like the Angola is backwards??) (The tan big pills distract my eye and aren't that interesting Is this an AIDS cocktail of pills? - NG strives for accuracy - just a comment - no effect on scoring since I don't know the answer)
This is a very good photo but I think the meaning of it is going to be lost on the average DPC voter. Not many people are going to realize that those drugs are Fortovase and Zerit (I work for a pharmaceutical company). They might just think you threw some drugs on a map. 8
