Lighting is an issue in this shot. The pills are almost over lit, and the bottle isn't lit enough. I don't like the harsh shadow created by the front pill onto the pill behind it. It kind of takes a chunk right out of the pill in the back. Probably lighting this more, and just putting a thin sheet or paper between the light and your subject might provide enough light, but cut down on glares created by too much lighting.
While I realize it's probably the label that's tilted, the tilt of the lettering really makes this look like everything is going to slide right off the right side of the photo. See how the lettering doesn't line up with the upper frame of the photo? Being so close to the edge, it's really obviously tilted and creates a distraction.
I'm glad you have cropped this to cut out your address and RX number. I saw a shot once that left all that info in, and I was freaked out. Couldn't believe someone would have given out all that info. So the crop there is appropriate to me. You could have carefully cut it out and then shows the entire bottle, but I don't think it would have been as effective.
Focus and clarity seem to be just fine. Good detail in the pills, and the lettering on the bottle isn't blurred or anything.
The black background also works nicely as there is nothing distracting in the background. Also helps to make the subject stand out.
I think that just about anything would qualify to be in this challenge, so I think it fits the challenge nicely.

| Nice quality in the image. I dont understand how this ties with the matrix though. I like the black background and the layout of the image. |

| interesting message. I'm sure a few people will have been offended by this, but I think its a strong statement. Lighting is not quite right though..too bright on the pills and the whole image looks a bit flat. A wider angle composition and less tight crop would have helped too. |

| A brave and interesting subject choice -this entry really had me thinking - Blue or red? does prozac create a a false reality that seems good, or allow us to escape from the trap of our illusion of a bad reality? I'll choose the second. Prozac makes me useful to myself not the machines:) Now, the photo - I like your choice to make the warning lable central to your subject - don't operate dangerous machinery (or let it operate you!) The pills in the forground balance the composition. I wish they were more sharp. The lighting is a bit harsh, something more difuse would be better. A neat idea - maybe the whole photo desaturated except the green on the pills? |

| It needs some better lighting, but I do like the concept.. I thought about similar ideas as an interpretation of the matrix.. A dream world pulled over our eyes to keep us happy... |
