OK. I took this before reading the "how'd they do that" on the "Swish" photo, but my technique was similar. I don't have second synch flash and wanted to freeze the egg above the nail rather than at the beginning of the fall... To do that, I blew out the egg and glued a piece of black thread in one end. I then tried holding the egg for the flash and pulling it up. The problem was that the string was showing in the shot (due to the flash). To solve this, I flipped everything.
I nail was hanging from a string (and wouldn't hang straight). I held the egg just under the nail for the flash and then let it fall. In post processing I flipped the photo so that it would be falling the right way. I also had to adjust the black level some so that the string didn't show at all.

Commentary:
This shot is done very well. I think the nail could have been straight. The idea is just perfect. The black background causes for the perfect amount of contrast here. Wish I would have used a black background myself. Wonderful shot

| Nice tones. The nail is not quite vertical though which throws the composition off very slightly. |
