| I like the concept. Without the title, I wouldn't have got it. However, connection or not, it's still a technically sound image. My thoughts on this echo the other commenters with respect to spots and egg position, but I also wondered if a different perspective may have lifted this? Maybe level with the egg rather than a downward point of view? Just a thought :) |

sorry not to have commented on this already...no phone line yet for cut from plumber...grrrr
thinking on DPC past tactics I've read, can you spray "pam" on an egg to make it shiny? and I think the shadow on right hand pearls detracts. But I LIKE this shot. I'm rather skidish to comment critique wise because I LOVE your work and feel you know technical need for a shot MUCH better than I. so my comments are more what would make ME purchase the picture. Egg being more symmetrical vertical and perhaps in right or left 2/3 of frame I think. You rock and very creative idea... |

| wow some of your commenters have looked really closely! I sure didn't see you reflected in the pearls! I have to agree that getting rid of the marks on the egg (by moving its position?) may have helped your score a bit here. The background looks a little pixalised to me mainly on the top right handside and I am not a huge fan of the central position of the objects. I think you have met what I believed the challenge to mean and you have gathered exactly 2 objects so for me that gave you a few extra marks! Yanko's B&W idea sounds interesting, I wonder whether this would have more impact if you tried that? |

| Nice idea. With advanced editing you could have edited out the flaws in the egg. |

| I think the composition might be better if the egg were tilted more to the right. |

| I like the concept. The technicals are also good. I might have cloned out those specs on the egg itself just to make it cleaner. Also, this might have worked better as a b/w since the image is pretty much that already. |

| For such a set-up shot, you might have wanted to get rid of the brown marks on the egg - can't see that they ad anything to a shot that imitates the clean and shiny world of jewellery advertising. The reflections in the pearls are a bit cluttered and a give-away of the room and set-up - you can almost see you reflected in them. |

| Great concept. However, I would have clone-stamped the imperfections on the egg (right side), or used the healing tool. If the spots weren't there, I would have added another point or two. |

| lovely...I would have cleaned up the dots on the egg and perhaps dodged and burned a bit to make this pop |
