Critique Club Review

The depth of field is just a bit short here. The sharpness of the front of the basket wants to hold the eye there. By the time you get to the back two eggs, things are already getting soft. It also looks like the sharpening tool may have been a bit overused. I would suggest a bit higher vantage point for the camera. The front egg is pretty well hidden, and to see more of the design would be nice. Also a higher vantage point looking a little more downwards would help with the previously mentioned depth of field. The lighting could use some angle to it. As is, the lighting is pretty uniform and flat. More of an angle with a little shadow, would help define the shape of the eggs, and make them pop. Overall exposure, and color rendition is good. I think you have a great idea here, and it could make a really interesting poster.

Too close? There are quality problems - lots of digital/jpeg noise and stuff, and I think I'd have liked it more if shown more of a setting for it.

It is always interesting to see how others use their imagination: imagine a
bird that would lay so many different colored eggs!

I like the colorful eggs... I think a tighter crop that left out the background would be good also.. nice work :) - setzler

Looks like one of the birds must be a Zebra-Bird. :)

Very strange, it must be a weaver! (and it weaves golden baskets, would this be some relative of the goose and it's golden eggs? Hint - you might want to loose the manufactured basket). 7 Swash

nice colors. seems a bit fuzzy. hard to focus on it real well

Great idea and set-up. Very original. Perhaps the focus is a little soft on the eggs but use of DOF on the background is good, just a little more needed on the eggs. IMO!
