Thanks for the great votes!
This was my second entry, and it did worlds better than my first.

Kinda funny, this was a total last-minute deal. It was about 9:30 on Tuesday night, and I figured I look around for stuff in the kitchen to shoot for the challenge. I pulled out the container of eggs...hmmm...maybe. I threw a carrot on top of them to represent the Alone part of the crowd. Nah...put the eggs back in the fridge...
I started looking through the drawers and found that egg beater. Bingo!
Brought the eggs out, layed 'em all out on the counter top with the beater in the middle. Guesstimated the settings on my camera, angled my flash to the ceiling and took a few shots. Had to go with this angle, since I didn't want the backsplash to show up.
Processed it and submitted it. I was all done within about 30 minutes from idea to posting.
I saw the dang carrot crumb on the front egg when it was too late. I was tired and didn't think I'd be rated this highly when I first put it up. Too bad I didn't clean that carrot off...I might've bumped myself up a couple of spots!

This is one of my favorites. Great symmetry! No idea how you pulled that off, but it's impressive.
12/04/2007 03:16:08 AM
great work with the white on white, and the pun got you bonus points. :)

Funny shot :)

Very cute.

Great image. Although, I think 90% of the humor is in the title.
11/30/2007 03:58:50 PM
I predict a winner. Well executed and perfect light and exposure!
11/30/2007 12:59:56 PM
brilliant concept and absolutely fantastic exposure. the shadows created by superb controlled lighting give foreground-eggs almost 3-D like effect. definitely a podium candidate. 10

Hmm looks like the 'Eggsterminator'or maybe he just gets better TV reception than the others :- )

Nice lighting and composition.

Funny and to the point.
11/29/2007 09:00:27 AM
That whisk is adorable. I really like how the eggs surround him but maintain much more space around him than from each other. He does have an out; perhaps he should take it ;-) Very nicely lit shot, in addition to the careful composition. Only nit is a speck of something on the bottom of the 2nd egg from the right that needs scraping off.

11/28/2007 02:16:41 AM
It's impressive how you can make such featureless objects look like they're all facing the same way, closing in on the egg-beater.
