haha...rather humourous!

Softer lighting and less shadow and less grainy would be helpful. Good idea though adn a clever title.....

I'd love to see this in B&W!

Very clever, I like how the inside of the egg is lit up too. How many eggs did you break into a million pieces trying to get this shot? lol. Eggs and I do not get along well. The lighting and angle are great. Nice shot and good luck in the challenge.

This is kind of interesting, I'm surprised more people didn't do something with eggs. I really don't like to see the challenge name (new) used in the title though... too cliche. The I find fuzziness in the upper right of the photo to be distracting, but maybe it was done on purpose. Overall, though, pretty good, and I like the idea.

if you capture a chick coming out of it, i'd give you a 10....

This is a very beautiful photo. The subtle cracking, the soft light showing the contours of the shell, the warm sepia... it's captivating :). 10! - lisae

Title is very disturbing (or provocative depending on where you sit). Photograph is excellent, technically. 9

I really like this... I just think the hot white spot on the egg shell takes away from it. Otherwise, nice texture and composition.

beautiful. i love this. a little soft but i think it works. very nice choice of color. although the title is funny i think it cheapens what is a beautiful photo. great work.

Another interesting egg shot. I can certainly make the connection and the title is funny and prompts the viewer to wonder about that as well. It's a good photograph but the light on the egg coming from the left is too strong.

Excellent picture! I really like the lighting and can't help but wonder how you got that freakin' egg so clean on the inside! I like the title too. Very appropriate. I give it a 10!

I have looked at this photograph several times now considering if I should give it a higher score. Then I saw the title and felt it was trying to save the picture and changed my mind, sorry.

Very nice.
08/14/2002 12:12:00 PM
Theres good use of light coming through the shell here, but the focus is a bit soft, particularly on the background eggs.

Very original theme, among my favorites for this challenge. I like the lighting angle very much, but do note that the light is a bit strong and harsh enough to blow out detail from the upper left of the egg. Consider this setup as an alternative: A multi-flash setup with a well diffused key light from the left and a fill-in from above the camera set two or three stops below the key light.

Interesting - find it too grainy, though I imagine that, and the sepia, are intentional.

I like the subject matter and the tone quite a bit!
08/12/2002 06:04:00 PM
The title makes this picture
08/12/2002 05:45:00 PM
I would go for the omelette! good idea.
08/12/2002 02:11:00 PM
Great shot! I love the soft lighting....
08/12/2002 04:30:00 AM
Omelette!! :-)

Cool title. The egg image isn't so original though after a number of DP challenges. Lighting could have been better as well.
