Well, this is just my luck... I have to do my first critique on one of the best photographers here! Well, here goes... =)
CHALLENGE: Obviously met. The lighting draws my eyes to your thumb and the corner of the yolk though. Although it's a great shot, you may have wanted to put more emphasis on the actual yolk, just to meet the challenge. The most interesting thing about this print is how the yolk seems to defy gravity. It's an awesome effect.
TECHNICAL: I don't see anything wrong with the settings you used. It's a very sharp, clear photo.
LIGHTING: The lighting is gorgeous depending on what you're after. Like I said before, maybe a little more emphasis on the egg. The shadows on the fingers are fantastic.
POST-CHALLENGE EDITING: I would recommend getting rid of the thumb hangnail as well as the scars on the middle fingertip. Near the bottom of your hand, you have an overshadow, which makes your hand look a bit dirty or bruised, so you might want to touch that up as well. Maybe lighten the hands a bit to get rid of some of the redness.
I have browsed through your galleries and you obviously know your stuff. Your unique approach to this challenge is refreshing, and I think it's a very interesting shot.
