Or: Boob-jobs! (Sorry, I had to do it.) I remember someone here did the web site for Jenna - would that be you? As a candid portrait, its good, and it fits the challenge well. Beyond that, there's not much of interest to the shot. The idea is the only thing that really carries it.

The old seems out of focus, and I would thinkthe foreground should be the focused area. What does the scene look like in portrait? Great subject for challenge. 6

Very good contrast photo! This was the sort of pic I first thought of when I saw the new challenge topic, well done!

Should have cropped out the new building on the right. There's no need for it, in fact it detracts from the message. Great idea, BTW. :)

I see the example your showing here. I just don't like the composition. The right side could of been cropped more.

A great entry; I think this would have been even stronger as a black and white.

Good for a definite giggle, though the rounding on one side looks more pan-based than street-based. I've definitely met days that felt like this looks, though!

I suppose putting a non-stick coating on a road surface wouldn't be quite practical. Good thing you like them "sunny-side up." Around here, a sidewalk is the preferred frying utensil, but the blacktop will reach a higher temperature. I think you could maybe crop out most of the cars without losing impact.

I love the concept of this photo, but I am not sure it was executed as well as it could have been. I think you hit the challenge of temperature on the head though. I would have liked to see a lower camera angle on the egg (closer to the road), with the egg being more of the focal point and the DOF beginning to unfocus about 1-2 feet past the egg (the yellow street lines and the cracked pavement would have told the viewer exactly where the shot was taken). The car on the left and the other thing on the right definitely distract from the photo. Just my opinion :) Like I said, this is a great concept and has a lot of potential.
