Edited this with half an hour to go. Used an automotive neon light bounced off a white piece of cardboard for the depressing blue. Crop, rotate, USM, clone out a few spots, reduce in size, USM again, and upload.

not the "mood" I was looking for in this challenge. As for the photo itself, I like your choice of color. The POV isn't my favorite, and the crop is too close on the top and left. Lighting is a little too strong in areas, and not strong enough in others.

nice idea and shot. to improve it i think you might move the object further up from the wall so their shadows arent visible on it. also maybe add some whites. but i like the refelction and tone.

A quality photo. I like the blue tone and the reflective surface. I gotta get myself one of those reflective surfaces! Very nicely lit, a pro job.

Powerful image & message there... Nicely done. It hit a little too close to home I think for me - lol! (7)

Pills and pill bottle look good, but the vodka bottle is a bit odd this close up... I think it would look better with a longer focal length.

Your giving me bad ideas :-)

Nice refelction, but cropped too tight on the top IMO

I love the over blue colors in this image. I think however, this would have been a much stronger image, had the bottles, and the pills been photographed on a bedroom stand or a coffee table, rather than set up as a still life. This to me would have been a much stronger suggestion of a mood or emotion. This, as it is arranged, really looks more like an advertisement type of image. <5>

good idea and the blue adds to the depression.

I like how the light strikes the frame here, as well as the blue (down) color tone and the reflection. 8

Blue Mood...good choice of the color blue. I like the reflections and wonder if your image would really pop-out with a darker shadow in the back???

Nice detail, too!
