Hello Achiral. Critique by Silver Fox.

The colour and lighting are fine, although I tend to like to see a yellow egg yolk, not blue, but that's just me.

(While we're on the lighting, I can spot a few reflections that I wonder if you could have taken care of, one at the bottom edge of the rim of the glass, lower right leading right up to the stem, also up towards the middle of the glass.)

I think the perhaps you cropped a bit too tight? It also looks like your table top is out of focus towards the back.
Unfortunately you don't give us any info on aperture/shutter, etc so we don't know what you were up to.
I don't know why you received such low scores because I don't see anything technically wrong with your work, it's just something that others didn't seem to like, but you did meet the Challenge, so keep up the good work, and keep on "shooting".
Ed

I really like the idea for his photo but I find the contrast to be too low. I also feel indifferent about the duotone color and my own preference would have been for you to maintain the yellow color of the egg yoke against a purple background, which I believe would have conveyed "regal" more so. While you did well in preventing distracting reflections off of the glass, I find that the glass edges are not well defined enough so that the glass blends in too much to the background.

Thats cool hoe you got the egg to fit into the glass perfectly., nice blue, maybe some more dramatic lighting would have been nice.

nice look, would like to see a bit more detail (glass with sharper edges), to be able to distinguish it better

I would a given a way better note if the line of horizon and water level would have been parallel to the edge of the picture

cropped a little tight and the border makes it fel even more crowded.
