Hmm...maybe bottles with other pills spilling out of them...just to liven up the bare parts a bit...oh well just speculating...but it's really good at any rate ...love it!
its like the matrix, lol, go in the bunny rabbit whole or the matrix! so its cool this image, cuz i love the matrrix, i dont know if u guys were referring to it but it looks like it to me!
I would agree with the other suggestions. First remove the text. Maybe make the pills slightly larger (but not too much.) Very light green hex scrolling down in the back ground. But keep it very simple.
Hmm....If i take the Red one I might Fly in the air as if i took a bottle of Sky blue while Smoking crack at the same time! But if i took the blue one....It could be worse !!!!!!!!!!
I *ganked* this one and modified it a bit - you can now find it at http://v3designstudios.com/sharing/choices.jpg
All my respects go to g8way - i just f'd with it a little...
I can't really decide between Diskrider's interpretetation and the original. Still, I think that the text should be removed, it really doesn't add anything to the image.
I know this now. Every man gives his life for what he believes. Every woman gives her life for what she believes. Sometimes people believe in little or nothing yet they give their lives to that little or nothing. One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. And then it is gone. But to sacrifice what you are and live without belief, that's more terrible than dying.

There is actually a song, underground techno of course, by DJ Infinity ... called: Take the red pill ... Very good song ... breifly talks about taking the blue pill the story ends and you will wake up and believe what you want to believe, but take the red pill, you stay in wonderland. Check it out and you will think of this wall paper.
ya know whats weird? i just popped in my matrix soundtrack and this picture came up....
...damn
now i've read some of these messages and i disagree with everyone who says you should have the matrix scrolls or whatever in the background. every matrix picture has that in the background! this one doesn't it's new! and it leaves all your thought to the decision of....
....red or blue?
this picture actually stimulates my brain more than anything else i've seen on this site so far. so do'nt change it!
awesome. so simple. anything else and i think it would be too busy.
"You take the blue pill and the story ends. You wake in your bed and you believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill and you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes."
I liked diskriders interpretation, however, I think the added background is too dark, something more subtle would perhaps be better. The hex only works like it is if it's moving, in my opinion.
I have to disagree with everyone on removing the text. Without the title somewhere in the work along with removing the text on the pills (buttons) then it wouldn't be very self explanatory. With the text it gives you a sense of "click" here or here. Which is what I believe the author was trying to convey.
I think the pills should be resting on someones hand....then it infers a choice has got to be made....and incorporate Ness' suggestion of putting the faint green 0's and 1's in.
SORRY it took me so long to find this background, realize the post date was way back in 2003, ha...anyways, didn't take the time to read everyone elses comments, so not sure if its been said, but...this is a perfect picture and should not rework it at all. (But) If I were to add something, I'd say possibly some light blue & red matrix code in the background...nonetheless its flawless already. Congrats
Einstein's theory of relativity: Grab hold of a hot pan, a second can seem like an hour. Grab hold of a hot woman, an hour can seem like a second. It's all relative.
Hows about having them resting on a pair of hands like scionlord's suggestion but having the hands either pale green or grey and made out of matrix-like figures, a bit like this. Just an idea and this is a great image as it is, it's certainly provoked a lot of comments...
I don't think you should change a thing. You can get a Matrix picture with the scrolling code anywhere online. Where can you find a picture of a red and blue pill by themselves? Here on Caedes, that's where. I like the comment about the text on the pills making one feel like they should click which one they'd choose. I actually did this....in my dumb state. Which did I choose?
