Nice shot. Interesting. I dont like the redness of the hand but I guess that was done to make it more sunlike. I would like it with the hand black and white or maybe blue. 7

Very good and original idea, I like it. I think however the hand looks a little too pink. Maybe desaturating all channels except yellow would help it.

Cool and bizarre, you gotta like that! Color seems very good, as does the focus. Nice blank background. Lighting - it's your choice, but I'm not certain about the finger shadows (i'm not going to "ding" you for it, I really don't know!) 8 Swash

I like how the fingers lead the eye directly to the yolk, which seems to defy gravity. Well composed and true to the challenge. Nice work!

cool shot.. I like the lighting and contrast a lot... plus the DoF is great! you should do really really well this week... I like the desaturation technique, however I can stoill see a smidge of color... try doing the desat a couple of times... or more... that has worked for me to really get the color out...

LOL, you have a vivid imagination! Pretty creative, although the picture isn't very appealing. Nice job on seperating the yoke out also. :)

Greetings from the Critique Club.

Well John, another fine photo from you here. There's not much for me to say here except I think the right side was cropped too much. Even if it wasn't as much the subject I would have liked to see the edge of the staircase. Why? Because when my eyes follow the railing it just stopped at the border. It might be more visually amusing to follow the rail up with your eyes. I hope that made sense.
I really like the use of B&W here and the contrast as well. I wish there was more I could add but this is a very good shot that needs little improvement. Look forward to seeing your photos in future challenges. If you have any questions feel free to drop me an e-mail.
