 Hmm, not too sure on this one. Idea seems ok but perhaps not a great fit for the challenge - guess we shall see.

Simple enough setup, sadly the tablets are not very exciting as it's just heath supplements and a cold/flu capsule :)

Lighting with a table lamp and reflector, I wanted some shadows to help define the white tablets. Levels and curves in Lightroom then quite a lot of USM to add more definition and done.

Interesting take on the challenge. Lighting is a little harsh however, as you mention the shadows do help give the tablets some form. Good use of shallow DOF here as it helps bring attention to your main subject as does your composition.

nice details to capture the subtle details of the tablets - placing the bright colored capsule at the third aids the composition here

In purely technical terms, I think you'll suffer here for a complication of composition. The light (and therefore shadows) is a bit harsh, particularly in the way it reflects from the coloured pill, and the seemingly random angles of the white pills have no harmony to their arrangement. Artistically - well, it comes across as a very simple statement, very contrived, and lacks much subtlety of message, for me. But I'm not known for my ability to second-guess the voters, I suppose ...
