 I had too little time but soooo much fun with this shot. I think challenges should be 2 weels long :-) - too much to do to submitt 2 images in 1 week :-).

This was the first thing that came to my mind when reading the title of the new challenge. I was quite pleased that I found a way to pp the yolk into looking like a ... well ... "stick person". Thanks to Silent-Shooter for a discussion that triggered the idea.

It was fun looking for the "right spot" and quite an eye opener as to how many options I found in a short time. In the end I chose what looked to me like the "classical" wall and path.
The egg was actually fried and I decided on the raw/semi-translucent look when playing around in the edit afterwards. This was what it would have looked like if I had left it white/cooked.

I liked it too, becuae it draws the eye very strongly to the white spot, but I went with the more elaborate edit, since this was "Expert Editing", and I also wanted to see if I could get what I wanted.

So this was 2 pics, one for the BG of the egg and 1 for the rest.
The "man" I drew in Gimp with an edit option called "Warp".

I think if I had more time I would have liked to re-shoot and experiment with different lighting. This was all natural, but taken in a greenhouse on a semi-overcast day, shot at about 15.00 pm.

Cute effort and editing. I'd planned to do Humpty too, so for both our sakes I'm glad I didn't as people like to punish that here...
