 Had this idea based on a photo i had done once before with an egg and forks.. decided it might look cool to make the egg into a hen and attach the battery with the forks representing the small cage.. backgroud is sheets of card and light was from a flashgun bounced off my kitchen ceiling. I also used a +1 diopter on my lens to lower DOF & help blur out where the upright card meets the flat card on the counter (as i knew i wouldn't be able to spot edit it out in basic editing). Feathers held on with blue tack, it was the only thing i could get to stick to the eggs condensation covered shell lol

I adjusted brightness/contrast using levels, denoised a little then adjusted yellow hues, adjusted vibrancy and sharpened using topaz sharpen. Resized and re-sharpened a little for dpc..

"... to make the egg into a hen" -- so THAT'S what it is! Haha, sorry, I couldn't decipher your intent.

Liked the feathers on the egg, but they could have been better.
