 Coming in to edit the details and to say thanks for the good comments.

This is an egg. I couldn't think of anything else to take a picture of for this challenge. I didn't edit it very much at all. Since my score was higher than my average, maybe I should learn a lesson from this and not edit so much in the future. Thanks for the comments, everyone!

Love the simple lines on this one and the terrific clarity in the tones. Simple yet highly effective and evocative.

Congratulations on your top 20 finish with this semi abstract study of an egg! Cool.

Perhaps it's a touch too abstract for the challenge, but the shot is awesome. I actually thought this was a tantalising body curve! (hinting at desire as a root of life). Great job - and with just an egg! Tells me to lift my backside and go shooting!

Reminds me of a lot of Ursula's work. Very cool abstract flow of the egg/ white in the background. Cool light too. I think the black line at the top really helps to frame and balance the shot. Leading off to white wouldn't be as strong.
