The brand name on the bottle is some distracting,but due to the comical value of the scene I'm giving you an 8!

that is funny - nicely defying gravity 7

This is highly amusing, and well executed. Only criticism is it should have been Prozac or Viagra. :) Technically, it's a little fuzzy, but I expect that's the result of the capture. Well done!

This would have been even more eye catching if the 'happy' pills were an actual prescription for anti-depressants.

quite funny.

Great action!
10/17/2003 01:16:37 PM
nice idea, but it's blurry and has a nasty shadow from the container.

very creative. i don't think i would have come up with a way to do it on my own, but i know how you did it. i must say, very high up as far as creativity.

cool idea. nice timing on the strobe
10/16/2003 01:37:02 AM
good idea, nicely executed
10/15/2003 08:36:43 PM
Not sure they make ya happy, [unless of courese you have a headache] but they sure _look_ happy enough. Fun shot with good action. Maybe a better tablecloth the pills do look good against the black.

nice shot but kinda out of focus
10/15/2003 01:40:08 PM
Great idea. Focus is not crisp enough for a high scorer but I reckon it's worth re-shooting until you get it perfect. Were you using a tripod, fast shutter speed, etc.?

Nifty - this must have been hard to achieve! It's a good shot although the focus on the bottle could be improved. Very good.
10/15/2003 10:14:40 AM
haha neat idea - I wish it was more in focus. 5

This is a fun little shot. Just a couple of suggestions, take 'em or leave 'em: The shadow under the Anacin bottle is a little too dark, if there's a way to soften it a little I think that would work a little better (don't get me wrong, I do think the shadow is important as it illustrates the fact that the bottle and pills are in the air, but it's just a little overpowering IMHO); also, perhaps if you could find a more mood-altering type of medication (such as St. Johns Wort?) than aspirin, I think it would have more impact. Other than that, I like the playfulness of the shot and title.

Great idea for the challenge, shame about these points:
The lighting could be a lot better... at least 2 light sources are needed to avoid the ugly shadows.
The base does not look very good... you need better material to compose your shot with other than this brown grainy stuff.
The focus is badly out, you can really see this when looking at the text on the label.

As I said though, fantastic concept which with better execution could have led to a winner, as DPCers like these kinds of shots.
Score: 4

they're so high! :)

nice job, i'm guessing you messed with the cloth underneath to get this shot?
