heyas; the ground-to-wall deal doesn't bother me, because i'm used to seeing such things in photo shoots and advertisements and such. it looks like an illustration for some science/medical magazine. an airbrushed, one i mean. they do kinda neutral background on those. i think a hard table edge would necessitate a room background, and i think that would clutter up the image. you might try moving the camera up a tad and angling it down a bit more, so you wouldn't see much of a horizon anyway. not too much, though. i think the problem with the glass is the actual base of it is very transparent (under the blue bit) and hard to see. i would expect to see a harder shadow line where the base meets the table, a stronger differentiation. the composition is good. i like the pill's reflection and is that a real blurred red reflection on the other side of the glass? very nice touch.
