I found this egg in my Cockatiels nesting box. It was the first clutch of year and sometimes the chicks fail to thrive.

this is an egg shot that's honest about how ugly just born chicks can be. :)

Wow, great detail on the egg.
I'd have prefered to have more of whats in it though
04/27/2002 08:48:00 PM
A definite transition, but the focus is a little distracting.
04/27/2002 06:55:00 PM
Looks kinda, um, gross, but it is an excellent shot.
04/27/2002 10:45:00 AM
It's difficult to discern exactly what is in sharp focus which leaves me a bit confused. Obviously the egg tells me I'm watching a chick hatch but it would be more interesting if the focla point was recognizable. Good effort.
04/26/2002 09:12:00 PM
man, that's crazy. is it still alive?
04/26/2002 01:47:00 PM
I like the detail of the shell structure.
04/25/2002 02:54:00 PM
eh
04/24/2002 05:12:00 PM
I wish the focus here was on what was inside of the shell instead of on the shell itself.
04/24/2002 10:58:00 AM
I hope you didn't kill the chicken intentionally. It is an interesting photo.
04/24/2002 10:07:00 AM
what timing!
04/24/2002 12:27:00 AM
Blurry foreground is distracting. Is it coming or going?
04/23/2002 10:27:00 PM
oh wow. is that a real hatchling? Great picture for a transition.
04/23/2002 05:10:00 PM
Are you breeding aliens? Looks very dark and mysterious in there...
04/23/2002 01:16:00 PM
It's obvious as to what this is because of the egg, but I think it would have been more recognizable if the shot represented a scene a just little later in the hatching process
04/23/2002 08:30:00 AM
awesome!
04/22/2002 09:20:00 PM
I was hoping someone would catch an actual 'hatch'... this is a great photo!
04/22/2002 08:16:00 PM
good idea, although i can't tell what's going on, even though i understand a bird of some sort has been born, where is it?
04/22/2002 07:48:00 PM
amazing photo! fabulous depth of field.
04/22/2002 07:32:00 PM
I would have liked this better if it was all in focus
04/22/2002 06:53:00 PM
You're not gonna eat that are you? Nice shot. I would have liked more light inside, maybe from one of those little Beckman pen lights. I would have voted higher but I don't want to look at this for a whole week.
04/22/2002 04:38:00 PM
Baloot? I am sure my tagalog spelling is wrong.
04/22/2002 01:17:00 PM
this is amazing.
04/22/2002 01:07:00 PM
ewe. Title it
04/22/2002 12:42:00 PM
wow.. what timing
04/22/2002 11:50:00 AM
An amazing shot. I like the narrow DOF.
04/22/2002 10:28:00 AM
Good transition, but focus is lacking. Could have used more lighting too
04/22/2002 10:17:00 AM
well done, with a difficult subject! foreground is out of focus which is distracting.
04/22/2002 08:21:00 AM
Poor thing...is it dead? Did you open the shell before he was ready to come out or was he dead already? :(
04/22/2002 08:10:00 AM
hmmm, never thought about that.. good idea~!!
04/22/2002 08:00:00 AM
Can't really make out what's inside the egg. Maybe wait until it's out, and then snap?
04/22/2002 07:23:00 AM
I wish the depth of field had been a little better, but over all a very good interpretation of the theme.
04/25/2002 12:44:00 PM
Lucky timing or hours spent waiting?
04/23/2002 01:57:00 PM
I'd love to see the rest! - maybe you could post them later.
