Nice idea and meets the challenge. Looks like a lot of the paper is either overexposed or so out of focus that the detail has been lost. Unfortunately it is to such an extent that the whole photo suffers greatly. 3.

Comment by Rebecca:
Two things immediately leap out at me:

(1) I would like to see a sharper line at the egg's edge where it meets the shadow/
(2) Take advantage of the full 640x640 allowance. Not doing so tends to get voted down around here, probably because it indicates a lack of knowledge on how to use your photo editing software? I'm guessing at the reason, but especially on a black and white photo, with very little color data to inflate your file size, there was no reason that a 640x640 couldn't be saved at 100% using Save for Web.

I would have liked to see a little more texture on the egg

Nice and simple idea. I just think it's a bit soft.

I have 3 complaints about this image, which could have been made better with just a little better post-processing.

1.) Noise. That pretty much speaks for itself.
2.) Border. The white of the border makes the background look incredibly cyan.
3.) Size of the image. The maximum size of an image on DPC is 640x640. Use that to your advantage.

Without those post-processing flaws, I tell you, that it could have been a 8 or a 9. It's a great graphical work, with great composition.

But, alas, I give it a 6.

The incredible edible egg! :-) This meets the challenge. Good job. Could you have made the photo a little larger? 640 pixels per side.

Comment by mist:
The problem I see with this photo is there is pink banding towards the bottom of the egg, which (I'm guessing) has been introduced during the saving for web process. Bit unfortunate as it is distractingly unreal to me.

This is a brave and subtle treatment of an egg. The blue mist shadow is precisely the sort of thing I was hoping to see when I set out to vote. It skates near the edge of being too little or too pale or too closely cropped, but does not cross it. Nice.
