A sort of Homage to Dali, although a very poor imitation.

Greetings from the Critique Club
By Inspzil

Composition - Good background for this subject. The color is good, but might've been a little better a bit darker. It serves as a contrast to the subject which appears to be a fried egg that is very, very well done (in cooking terms). In terms of composition, I think the part about being very well done is not helping your cause. It makes it a bit more intriguing, but its no help. I think the string is definitely a creative touch. I'm not sure if its helping the picture though. I really think thats sort of a matter of opinion to each viewer. I think the egg is framed a little too much to the right. The biggest problem with this composition is that it really isn't grabbing the viewer. I think you did a good job picking the background, but it needs something else to sort of accessorize the egg part. Maybe a fork or something might've worked. I gotta move on though

Technical - Pretty well taken in the grand scheme of things. There are 2 technical things that are bothering me. First - The subject seems to have an awful lot of light bouncing off it. It makes it really seem a lot like plastic more than egg. Second - The background looks like its pixelating a little. Every other time I look at it it seems ok. But in between I think it looks like its pixelating. Maybe its just me. If you would've exposed this a little less, I think you'd have eliminated some of the reflections on the egg and also made the background a bit darker.

Overall - I think this shot was worthy of a little better score than it got. I think it definitely meets the challenge. There are a few things you could've done though to make this particular composition a little better in terms of lighting, exposure, and framing. The composition itself though has a limit to how much these aspects can affect the score positively. Hope this could be of at least some help to you. Good luck in future challenges. - Inspzil

Really bizarre, delightful image. good cropping and placemen off egg in frame. Just a tad out of focus when it probably should be in focus.

Nice coloring & contrast. Good cropping. 7.

This is so strange...I really like it! I think maybe a little more room on the right side of the frame might be warranted. I'd love to see more of your shots of this...truly unique work. Great job!

interesting concept... I think a darker background like blue or purple would contrast with the egg nicely :) - setzler

Very unique photo. But something seems missing. iT doesnt make for a very good image. The main object needs to be focused on in the middle because you have a lot of empty space that takes away from the image.

Excellent idea.
