Contrasting lines work well here, and the egg is right where it should be here: in the middle.

This is the best of all the plain egg photos. Your choice of background makes this photo great, and the title ties it all together! Great job!

Nice contrast between the lines and the roundness of the egg.

Very interesting.. high score. Love the lines, with the shape of the egg. Well done.

Good concept. The picture looks like the top is larger than the bottom, but I'm sure that's optical illusion. My only gripe is that the lighting is not very good on the front lower egg.

the background makes this work

Great shot. I like the theme. 10.

Very nice abstract. It seems a bit too blue or purple for me though, but I like it a bunch!

Cool. Tone on tone. Nice.

You've given such a simple photo so much impact here, the colors are very good. This could have also been good in the leading lines contest!

The vertical lines play off very well against the roundness of the egg.

I really like the effect with the vertical lines. I would have (in my opinion) liked to see the egg more vertical (looks to be leaning back a tad). The lean could be an illusion from the lines...maybe.

Love this one! Very bold. Simple works best every time!

Good stuff. That optical illusion that makes the top of the shot look wider than the bottom ... !!! Works well to contrast the narrowing of the egg itself. There's a little detail lacking though, maybe? Not quite perfectly in focus on the egg, or you found a really smooth egg.

I like the simplicity of this picture
03/03/2003 07:33:01 PM
Wow this is great. It would also have been perfect for illusions because your border gives the illusion of being slightly off rectangular.

great composition... the lines on the surface create a very interesting optical illusion when viewing this photo.. the centered composition of the egg also works very nicely in this shot... = 10 - setzler

neat idea. well done.

Without a doubt, my favorite this week! I love the optical illusion you have created here. It makes me want to get out the tape measure and see if this photo is square...lol. Love it!

the border is too dark, it competes visually and makes the whole image pulsate and distort - or did you mean it to?

Nice composition.
03/03/2003 12:40:45 AM
Simple, just a big wow. I like the idea of the lines to attract attention to the subject.
