I honestly think this is one of my better entries but here I am sitting in the low 4s. I'm sorry I ran out of syringes and pills haha. =P

I actually took this image with this challenge in mind. The slight hint of light against the darkness was meant to illustrate the cure. I'm pretty sure I've seen similar images in some pamphlets/brochures for anti-depressants. I guess it's not explicit enough (DNMC!) for most people. I'm glad some people liked it though.

Lighting is just a small table lamp wrapped in blue poster board pointed towards an avocado colored wall. =)

Excellent lighting for the subject title. Just take our new pabulum and you'll get your personality back. :)
Came back and bumped this a point and gave it a fave. My pick for the blue.

What a haunting image. It certainly isn't your regular "stock", but I could see it being used in an ad. Incredible lighting, and I love the gradient background. I'd put this on my front page.

Darkness is the depression cure? I am not following this one at all.
While I think maybe it could make it to a stock photo site, I don't think it would make it in the Medicine category.
