Greetings from the critique club.
The first thing that strikes me about this shot is how small the egg in the foreground is. I like the idea of contrasting the big with the small but I would like to have seen more detail in the small egg and a lot less of the thing it is sitting on. Perhaps if the camera was moved closer to the egg in the foreground and shot from lower down the overall composition would be better.
I don't like the shadow on the first egg either. It seems that the overall composition is relying on symmetry but that shadow ruins the symmetry for me as does the dark patch to the left of the larger egg. Maybe a flash would have helped to fill in the shadows here and achieve a more consistent look.
I love the eggs as a subject, the textures are great, but it is a shame that the colours are so drab. With colours like these I think it would have been better to concentrate on the textures more, but again with the first egg so small it is hard to make these out.
Overall, a nice shot that fits the theme well but which might have benefitted from some minor compositional changes. |

| Since the bokeh shell (an urchin?) is so much bigger than the in focus one, it's rather distracting and doesn't seem to enhance the subject. |

| The short definition of Bokeh from KenRockwell.com, which I am using for voting on this challenge: "Bokeh describes the rendition of out-of-focus points of light." For me this fits the definition only loosely. Is the subject enhanced by the bokeh of the background? Definitely. Nice shot. |
