COMPOSITION
Though the horizontal placement of eggs gives the picture a solid, stable feeling, it also makes it kinda static. There is nothing to lead the eyes through the picture; they just go to the white egg and stop. I think a tighter crop to remove the white at the top and bottom, or to even it up would have been effective, or arranging the eggs differently, maybe in a cluster instead of rows.

TECHNIQUE
It seems slightly overblown on the white. Maybe a diffuser, or something like a tissue or paper towel (make sure it doesn't ignite!) over your primary light source would help.

OVERALL EFFECT
I think this is a potentially awesome shot. The white adn brown provides a neat contrast, and it does meet the challenge.

Best wishes in the future.

Wonderful idea, and the contrast between the brown and white works well. The lighting is appropriate, too. The white egg seems out of focus, when I think that's the one you really want in focus.

picture ended up a litle noisy, not sure from USM or just getting it to size for the challenge. white egg has too bright of light on it, but that is a tough one with white and dark eggs
