Nice color contrast, Face seems a bit overexposed.

Wow, you got some very nice color swirls with your food coloring in the glass on this one! Love the swirls of predominent yellows and greens with just a touch of deep blue. This is very dreamy and while the white background draws attention to the main focus it doesn't compliment the feel that we get when we look at it. When I see the glass with it's wonderful color swirls I think dreamy, dreamlike, surreal, and serene. I think that the background should compliment those thoughts (perhaps just a background of a blue sky with or without a smattering of clouds) or just get rid of the background altogether and focus on the main object.

I love the play on words! This really could be a good shot if you got some more lighting to illuminate the egg in it's fullness. The bottom half of the egg disappears into shadow. I, as the viewer, want to see the full egg. Perhaps a little spotlight shined on the subject will get rid of that shadow. Also the lighting gives the objects a yellowish tinge to them. While not as noticable on the shell it is noticable on the egg. In the mind's eye eggs are bright white - and a bright white on the egg would help it to contrast with the black background better not to mention help it to litterally pop visually off the page. I do like the lighting on the shell some in light most in shadow - it takes on the look of a cornocopia with an egg filling it.
