Critique by Silver Fox.
Lovely Black and White Photography.
I love this. Your egg is nice and white, but I can't hear your human laying the egg, my sound is not turned up high enough :} (my sense of humor)
I really like your lighting, and the posing of your human is absolutely terrific, the arms and hands are perfect and the open mouth I think is excellent. How many eggs does he lay on an average day? :} my humor again. . .
I cannot find anything technically wrong with your photograph!
This is a very creative, and in my humble thinking, an elegant image for this competition/challenge. The positioning of the egg and the model were excellent choices and make the shot what it is. . .
Lighting: the lighting creates the image and you made a good choice in choosing the black cloth as a background. There is a bit of sharp light reflection off the right elbow, that can't really be helped.
Camera: Good focus, Nice sharp image throughout.
Digital Processing. I believe that you made the egg whiter in the processing and good for you, it looks great and stands out well.
My opionion: Great job, great imagination for a difficult Challenge.
I liked the creativity that you came up with and you deserve the Congratulations of a job well done.
Finally: I don't understand why you scored so low, and I'm going to say only that people just don't appreciate fine art and can't laugh at themsselves any more, so ignore them and just keep shooting the good works that you are capable of doing. . .
Regards,
Ed
