The color mood is great, and the lighting is okay too, what prevents it from being great for me is the composition. The hand coming out of the head...he doesn't seem to be lying his head on the hand so the perspective is off. The dark at the bottom isn't identifiable--assuming it is a shoulder...I would have liked his posture to be featured more prominently instead of the objects.
I understand this image, and first off I think a larger contrast and grit would really create more emotion. Also, the pills look too neat, I think they would be scattered more, not a lot but a bit more as someone dumping the pills out and not caring where they went, just getting them out.
Are those aspirin? You know, they will kill people but not like they think. It's a slow, irreversible and very painful death. Just an FYI, I know it's just a photo. I always hate the labels but I guess we can't show the name brand side huh?
great photo, I'm am so unsure on how to vote for this challenge, my opinion is different than most of the pics in it. So I am going for quality of the image. This image says alot and it does show emotion, I would have liked to see his face in the background (unfocused, of course) but thats just me. The lghting and colors are very nice, clarity and compo are great, 9.
