Exceptional image, idea and execution. Vitamin E? What and imaginative eye you have. The repitition of the light in the shadows is awesome. I also like that you have to really look at it to get it as at first glance (read in the thumbnail) it looks like three well lit, odd shaped pitchers of some sort. Great work.
I think that the most beautiful and intriguing photos are the ones where the artist can tale a mundane every day thing and make you see its beauty in a new way. BRAVO!!!!!
Selective desat? Just as a thought, try changing the color on the pills- something more vibrant to contrast with the black and white (pink?). The lighting makes for a neat abstract, but I'm sort of thrown off by the "ew, medicine"-ness of the subject matter. Just one girl's opinion :-)
Vitamin E capules? Very creative! Love the transparency/translucency effect you have with the capsules themselves. My nitpicky complaint is with the reflected (refracted?) white light not all being even. The top one is shorter and abruptly cutoff while the other two fade nicely. 7
One of the only desaturations that I really like, probably because of the way you used the shadows. I think this is great composition and is a ribbon pick for me.
