For Flibble and all of the rest of you who like the green ones, I could not find them. These white ones will have to do.

C & C appreciated.

Karen, That's cool! The flask comes out really great; the pills could maybe
need a bit more separation from the background. I very much like how
everything is arranged in the very foreground. The cork gives a nice
touch of coulor.

I love it! Great lighting, just enough shadow, just enough color, and great white on white...I love the subject, great idea. Just out of curiosity, what is the setup for the background? Is it homemade or store-bought? Still learning about this stuff.

JEF,

Thanks for commenting. The background is a piece of cheap poster board from Wal-Mart. Total cost 39 cents. Used the rough side of the board to try and control the light better. Stole the idea from Mike. Let me restate that. I learned about using poster board form one of Mike's photos.

That is what this site is all about, learning right?

Good Luck to you,

Karen

Great composition on this superb “white on white” photograph, Karen!
I love the subtle separation between the white tablets and the opaque white glass from the background, good job.
(Very clever label)

Really creative, nice white on white. I really like the flow of the picture it directs my eye through the content.
Well done!

great lighting... to my eye, the cork balances the another prominent part of the picture (label on the bottle).. smooth
