How funny! Greetings from the Critique Club! You asked for an in-depth critique and here we go:
There's not a whole lot I could say that you haven't heard from me already. Regardless - I really love this image. It is a completely original and personal take on the challenge topic, and I can see by the comments that you hit a nerve with the viewers/voters. There are many slick images out there, but in the end, the photo that touches people is the one that counts.
Your post processing is very original and emphasizes the subject (the pills) without being pretentious. The composition is good with the angle of the hand, the background telling more of the story, and lastly the positioning of the pills themselves.
Some challenges - The lighting is a little harsh where it hits the thumb. An additional light source might have helped with that. The bottom right corner is a little distracting because of the light ridge of the table. Since this is advanced editing, you could have perhaps burned that ridge to make it blend in a little. This way the eye sort of wanders there.
Congratulations on your first entry and on a great score!

| my top pick, in addition to great processing, one of the few where the number 13 has the meaning it was supposed to have (and with a twist, too) |
