Great choice for the pic... I had an emu egg once... we guessed at the cooking time of around 3.5 HOURS!!! It turned out perfect too... Hard boiled of course...

One of the most interesting types of eggs I've ever eaten... I remember being struck by the beauty of the shell's color too...

Although the one we got was quite a bit more uniformly green... Variance in breed I wonder?

Great texture. Well focused. Strong subject. Good lighting. What's not working here? Something's missing, but I can't figure out what it is. Still, good picure.

I love the allusion & the backlighting & apparently some PS saturation as well. Great Artist!
The face of the sunflower distracts me a little because it's dark, wispy, and almost "out-of-character." However, muted yellows would have supported the concept while not detracting from the subject.
Finally, as I recall satellite images that I've seen of solar flares, I vaguely remember the surface of the sun having many black areas. If that's true then you "nailed it." As I said, "Great Artist!" Great photographer as well. :)

W/O a title, I would have looked at this for quite some time- and I think that's really good- I like it a lot

I love the texture and color of the emu eggs. The basket and placement of them is great. The only thing that distracts me is the hot spot from the flash. Althought it is not blown out my eye travles from egg to egg to the hot spots. Maybe a slightly more defused light source?

A beautiful image.
