Will start off by saying that this is wonderful. Well deserving of the high placing.
I was thinking that when I first saw this, that I would like to have seen the egg further into the lower right corner. But then picturing it, I think that may put the egg too much out of the shot and that you wouldn't be able to really tell it was an egg then. So maybe that's why you placed the egg where it is to begin with.
Then, I was thinking what if we could see more of the egg, but still have it in the lower left of the photo. Maybe move the crop down a bit?? Anyway, something that could be played with. I'm sure you already did, but there is just something slightly off about the crop.
Lighting is what really makes this shot I think. That, and the fact that there are tacks sticking into an egg. lol I love the shadows. The only lighting 'flaw' I see is that on the tack to the far left, it makes a little shadow with a bright circle in the center of it. It seems 'non uniform' to the rest of the photo. Not a big deal, but kind of breaks the pattern a bit.
The background is perfect, nice solid, no distractions.
I can't offer any more than that. Congrats and again, nice shot. ~Heather~
