 I wasn't planning on entering this challenge, but while putting these jumbo chlorine tablets in my swimming pool, a thought crossed my mind, "Hey! These look like giant aspirin tablets and, with a twist, may work in the "Alternative Medicine" challenge."

Since I had a flight to catch later that afternoon, I quickly set up the tablets and the other props in my light box and shot a few images.

Not too much post-processing (I did it all in the airplane)...converted from RAW, cropped, tweaked the curves, etc.

This is a fun image. It was a good call to use those Styrofoam containers. Fairly fun image. a bit flat but fun.

Are those toilet bowl tablets? Interesting idea, nice capture, good quality image. I just can't get past that I think they belong in the toilet....
