Post challenge: Wow! Thank you all so much for the great comments! I can't believe I got a top 10 finish on my first entry as a member, and second entry overall. This really means a lot to me. I'll keep them coming!
Note: I did clone out a small logo on the blank pill. Unfortunately, I'm having to do my editing on a laptop right now, and therefore didn't realize the small smudge left on that pill because the contrast on this screen is terrible. It looked good from my end - I'll check my photos on a real monitor before I submit them from now on.

It look like you put some effort into this. My score reflects that, and comp DOF and lighting is good too. Lighting is a little strong towards center, but over all the you made a "boring" subject very interesting. Good work!
Wow, you went to a lot of work placing all of the pills with the lines radiating from the bright pill without the line. Interesting abstract. Good lighting and use of thirds.
it looks very computerized (if thats a word) like it's not a photograph. kinda looks like a picture of a photorealist painting. but i love the photo and the composition of the pills into a burst, very eye catching.
Your alignment of the half lines is what makes this shot. There is enough there to make it feel like a pattern, and enough to break the pattern to make it unpredictable.
