Comment by Natasha:
Very nice simple composition and use of the colour white, a tiny bit bright in places but a great shot.

White on white works well here; nice use of shadows. The egg is not quite in focus, especially on those crucial edges.

COMPOSITION
I really like how you have included only part of the fruit and in the upper right hand corner. Also, the sea of blue works as sortof a negative space context to draw attention to the fruit.

TECHNIQUE
The colors you have used here are fantastic. I love the silky smooth look of the blue. Also, the capture of the bubbles on the fruit are a nice touch. My only criticism would be that the shadow under the fruit is a little noisy. I'm not sure how you could fix that without distorting the rest of the picture, but for non-dpc stuff, I would try to smooth that out. The yellow may be just a touch too light. Though I can see it fairly plainly on my screen, others may not, especially if it is not calibrated correctly or something.

OVERALL EFFECT
The satiny look of the blue gives this an elegant dreamy look. For some reason, it makes me think of a giant lemon relaxing in a swimming pool on a hot summer day.

Nice work, and good luck in future challenges.

Good emotion portrayal. Like the lighting and B&W was a sound choice. I think it would've been better if you wouldn't have cut off so much of the head.
