The Blue Pill or the Red Pill

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Composition and Lighting: Not much to complain about here, the composition is dynamic with the angles of the pills. And lighting is like a product shot. I'd also like to see what you could do playing with the lights to do dramatic side lighting or back lighting or something.

Technical: The first thing that strikes me is that the focus isn't totally sharp on the red pill. Which at f/29, you would think that would be sharp eh?

Conceptual: Obviously this is where you got killed as far as score goes for this challenge. DPC is quite literal. Personally, I like it since I love the matrix.

Overall: Carry this creativity and attention to lighting across some other challenges in a way most DPCers can understand, and you'll be on the quick road to higher scores =)

I gave it a 7. Pic was really only a 5 for me, but it was such a creative OOTB idea, that it deserved something extra. I was looking at your shot details. F29? Doesn't sound right for such a pic, especially given the shallow DOF. I see you used a closeup filter. That explains some of it. Is the F29 a typo?

In a nutshell, some better depth of field and some adjustments to give it a little wow factor were all this needed. It only came in so low because most voters did not see the connection to the topic.
