Interesting commentary piece, simplistic.

Cute concept!

This made me smile. Funny concept

I don't get the symbolism here. A little too deep for me perhaps. Nice lighting and detail though. Too much empty black space just doing nothing. A different crop would have helped and the two halves of eggshell a little closer together.

Good idea. The lighting could improve though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/17/2009 06:39:00 AM
What a very clever idea, I like this a lot, well done
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 09:00:29 PM
Hahahaha, this is great. What a novel idea.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 04:38:25 PM
very different...just a little dark in tone...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 10:20:19 AM
The light could improve - creative idea
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 04:05:48 AM
nice shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 03:41:41 AM
Well captured and presented. We've seen something similar before ... doesn't diminish this, however.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 10:30:44 PM
Clever. Well done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 09:28:59 PM
Interesting idea. Nice lighting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 09:28:27 PM
Maybe you can try to go for a slightly different background. A gradiated one would be good or maybe play with reflections of the eggshells.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 08:41:22 PM
clever
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 05:05:31 PM
Nice idea, well executed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 04:38:42 PM
I like this. The idea is great, although a better execution of detail and lighting would increase the overall photo. Clever points.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 12:35:16 PM
Good overall score for originality but the shot could be improved. Maybe changing the crop and centering? Adding some nest elements, a few tiny feathers or even fallen shell bits? Better white balance too and a lighter background would have definitely helped.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 11:58:33 AM
I've seen this done before, cute.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 11:29:00 AM
LOL, very imaginative.....

brano
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 12:29:06 AM
LMAO...i love this...the tick marks make the shot! Great idea! 8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 08:24:35 PM
kind of funny...a bit dark on my screen
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 06:19:02 PM
LOL! Clever and fun. Just a tad more lighting please.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 05:58:29 PM
Cute idea! The egg doesn't seem as white as it's supposed to be though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 12:19:53 PM
ROFLMAO Outstanding idea!! First photo that has really made me laugh in a long time. Nice lighting and composition also.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 11:30:35 AM
lol, great idea but shame its not balanced
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 08:32:39 AM
Love the concept. The fact that the focus doesn't catch the front of the egg shell distracts me. I would have thought that in a studio set up you could have afforded a smaller aperature.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 05:10:42 AM
funny idea. too much negative space for my taste. white balance is wrong, a conversion to b/w had solved this problem
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 03:19:29 AM
Hope you get a ribbon on this! And keep the shell, it could be useful in the future.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 03:08:39 AM
Like the humor :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 12:48:25 AM
Lighting seems a little off, or flat to me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 12:27:29 AM
7 for making me laugh out loud (once I figured it out)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 10:22:20 PM
This is too cute. I love the count down on the shell wall.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 08:36:16 PM
hahahah , thats a cool idea, and its well shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 07:48:14 PM
The idea can make the difference...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 06:49:01 PM
Hahahah.... I have seen somthing like this before... i like this.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 05:55:23 PM
I remember a challenge a long long long time ago. An egg marked on the inside like this and little foodsteps walking away from it. Olga Vasilkova did that one. Wonder if this was for the same challenge :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 05:29:12 PM
lol, great idea
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 05:07:50 PM
very very very artistic really like the meaning 10 for me on creativity alone
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 04:55:20 PM
Clever idea, but the whole shot feels really dark with a strange light cast.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 03:02:49 PM
Great idea
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 03:01:32 PM

Cute idea!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 12:49:53 PM
I like the idea. I think the photo could benefit from a stronger composition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 09:19:35 AM
oh, ok now I get it, had to read the title, nice lighting
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 09:16:26 AM

  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 01:40:30 PM

03/12/2009 11:33:31 AM
You can tell the background is completely photoshopped.
