I like the shadow on the egg with the reflected light from the shell cast back into it. Very nice.

Very interesting combination (egg & shell) - although when I typed it I realized the play on words! Great lighting and concept.

It's almost eclipsed. Very cool combo of the egg and the shell. NICE.

your background could be better.

I love the play on words! This really could be a good shot if you got some more lighting to illuminate the egg in it's fullness. The bottom half of the egg disappears into shadow. I, as the viewer, want to see the full egg. Perhaps a little spotlight shined on the subject will get rid of that shadow. Also the lighting gives the objects a yellowish tinge to them. While not as noticable on the shell it is noticable on the egg. In the mind's eye eggs are bright white - and a bright white on the egg would help it to contrast with the black background better not to mention help it to litterally pop visually off the page. I do like the lighting on the shell some in light most in shadow - it takes on the look of a cornocopia with an egg filling it.
