Hi from the Critique Club!
This is a really interesting collection of health related items. I particularly like the old bottles and the first aid kit.
Compositionally the image is quite flat; as one or two of the voters suggested, an arrangement that gives depth from front to back may have created a more powerful image. Also the placing of the bottles in one half of the image and the books in the other, has created a division in the photograph, where each half competes for attention, rather than being a unified whole.
You have chosen items that complement each other as far as colour goes, which is pleasing on the eye. But I do find the red border a little distracting - with so much to look at in the image, the last thing you need is a border that competes for attention.
You have used the window light and reflector well, getting some nice highlights on the bottles. Had the right-hand side been a little darker so that the bottles stood out more, you may have created a more dramatic image, but the evenness of light across the picture makes it a tiny bit flat as far as contrasting light is concerned.
A really interesting and unusual still life. |

| I like the idea and colors here, but don't like the set up- too straight forward/flat/and while "framed" all lines lead my eye away- |

| I like the subject. The set-up may be too linear. If re-arranged to make it more three dimensional (adding some depth)it might have more visual appeal. Also, the angle of the shot could be varied to add interest. |

| I really like your photo! Very neat old medical items. I like your choice of lighting and think you have executed this very well. I would like to see that the book on the far right was not cut off but otherwise very well done. |

| This meets the challenge – it’s inanimate and arranged. Very thematic. Not so visual. 6 |

| I like the shot, but think it could have benefited from a levels adjustment to help the dark areas much blacker. |
