You are a master at using depth of field.

I like the reflection and the fact the bottle is out of focus in the background. the 'heart' blends into the pile of pills unless you really look for it. A separation would have improved this.

I like the DOF

I think it would have been cool to have those pills arranged in a heart shape. Came back for another look. It took a while but finally I SEE it. I think the cluster of pills at the top of the heart threw me off.

Having no experience....is this Viagra? Interesting image, the reflections are good, but you have the same problems I have had with litter on the glass. Not sure that the image is all that appealing.

Nice composition, I think the red in the bottom right is distracting though.

Nicely laid out and good DOF. OK the pills are arranged in a heart shape, but otherwise it's kind of obscure. Can I assume they are heart pills? I can't quite read the labels.
