Good idea and well executed, Sonny. I especially like the color and translucency of the vitamin...and the way it magnifies the "E". Nice shot. MFC

Excellent job both in terms of creative design and execution: simple, elegant and memorable.

Very clever idea Sonny and so well done! I like the diagonal composition and the way the light shines through the yellow pill. Perfect of course for this challenge.

Thank you all for the positive feedback. It's much appreciated. Fremiet, its actually 512 I.U. Stéphane, I haven't thought of going into the publicity business... Maybe, someday but for now I'm simply enjoying coming up with ideas and trying to capture them photographically - it is a lot of fun! Thanks again, y'all!

This is an exceptional image, no doubt about it. It is a perfect answer to the challenge and it is photographically right on the money. Excellent. Excellent.

Cool image - very neat idea! I love the way the pill magnifies the E, and the list of benefits extends out to infinity.
