This was a tough challenge. Not sure that this will do much, hopefully it'll land in the 5's at least.
Taken with SB800 off camera.
It was sure difficult cutting out those little bitty ribbons. :)

I like the idea, but the lighting is very harsh and it feels a touch overexposed. I think this is a look that would work very well for some other concept of pills (drug use etc.) but it doesn't feel quite right in this context.
I have some concerns about the addictive traits of this drug. (I'm probably not the first one to make such a comment) A bit noisy in the shadows and has too much of a yellow cast for my preference. Still worth a 6 for carrying off a great idea, even if it's not perfect.
Reminds me of a scene in the matrix:
You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.
The colour of the shaker doesn't work for me. It somehow detracts from the impact of the ribbons. I would have liked to have seen a less flat image with more of a feeling of action.
