She has so much more personality (and is so much better looking) in your shots than in the others on Model Mayhem. Especially compared to her lingerie/bikini shots, which you'd think would be sexier... yours are way beyond those.

The egg is a little bright. Maybe its my screen but it blends in with the background too much for my taste...

I remember a Frasier episode where Frasier was allowed to secretly view marketing research being conducted about his show. In a room full of people, *one* person said they didn't like his radio show, everyone else loved it... Frasier obsessed about the one negative comment. You scored a win with a lot of people, don't take the handful of negative comments to heart.

And if we're keeping score on originality, let's start counting the long exposure beach scenes; pet portraits; tone-mapped portraits of old people; black and white with a splash of color; use of photos within the photo; posed mice; liquid droplets/splash photos; etc etc etc...

You're doing fine, shoot what inspires you... even if the inspiration comes while surfing the web and seeing someone else's attempt.

Well originality certainly isn't a requirement around here but if that was actually a goal then why on earth would you search the internet for "egg ideas" and use one of them?
