This is actually a negative. The original image was lit from below. Looks good on my calibrated monitor, looks a bit blown out on my cheapo laptop. We shall see...

I love the simplicity of this. And how the one egg is the only one in focus so we can see it's textures.

Where is the abstraction? What is it that you wanted to take away from the image in terms of recognizable structure?

ETA (post voting): Thank you for your cross comment, I found it helpful. Although I have to admit judging abstract art is a very subjective skill. I really failed to see the abstraction in this image that you explained... all I could see was three recognizable objects. I learnt a lot about abstract images in this challenge, and must admit that my entry wasnt truly abstract either. I hope you appreciate the candor of people who actually commented on the images rather than just rating it low. Cheers to learning more...

I would like it better with more contrast between black & white.

Not very abstract but a good image.
