Great depth of field. Could have used levels/curves in PS to widen up the tones at the top end to increase the impact, it looks a little dull as it is

I'm seeing some lines in the shot that look like it may have been underexposed and brightened later. I like the shallow dof and the overall composition. I do think it could have a bit more contrast though.

good idea but this seems to need a bit of levels adjustment

This photo is amazing! I love that the top is in it to emphasize topless. I like the out of focus pills in the front because it brings the focus to the bottle. This was just so amazing i voted it a 10! good luck!

nice idea but with the shalllow dof there seems to be a lack of focus in this shot.

pills are really fuzzy and distracting upfront, but good idea

the more i look at it the more i like it, prob would have gone 1 point higher were the cap not in it, or at least not filled, just seems out of place that way /7

Pills spilling out the bottle, I think I would have enjoyed more focus and a really harsh contrast here. I believe that would have really made this image stand out and take notice.

good idea, good composition and perspective. crop at top and left is quite close. could be much sharper and needs more contrast.

bw conversion is a bit lacking, no deep blacks, could use more contrast to enhance your message

I didn't enter, but this would have been my idea. I like that you did it in black and white - seems more effective, more hopeless that way.

Title kind of nullifies the challenge...at least it doesn't help convey it. The blurry pills are distracting.

great depth of field, but i think it could use a bump in contrast
