Critique by Silver Fox.
Greetings.

Great idea for the Challenge. Your composition is nice. I like the way you've captured the texture of the egg carton and the texture of the egg shells, but I think the color balance of the Egg Shells should have been a tad Whiter, and I really like the angle of the shot that you took.

I believe though that the large black border takes away from your finished product as my eyes keep wandering from your eggs to the border all the time.

I especially like the yellow of the egg and the egg white, but is there any way you could have avoided the reflections off of the egg whites, top and bottom and also from the next egg top?

In regards to the Egg carton, where the egg white is flowing out of the carton - - it looks like the egg carton is cut into 2 pieces? There is some shadow there also from one piece of the egg carton? where it does not meet the rest of the box properly? What happened?

Your use of cropping seems to be excellent. DOF is fine.

Your focus is okay, but the focus should have been more on the broken egg and then on the one behind it. You've got the broken one slightly out of focus (on purpose?) and the one behind it in focus. Were you concentrating more on the Egg Yolk instead of the broken shell?

Nice photograph, Robbieh.

Beautiful shot-- I especially like the texture of the shell and the eggholder contrasted with the smoothness of the eggwhite. Lighting is excellent, too!

You've really got the lighting perfect here. This is a photo I would hang on my wall, the textures and colours blend very well.

I think I would have rated this higher if the color balance was whiter (looks like it was shot under flourescent lighting. Focus should have been just a little more forward in the shot (front edge of broken egg is not focused, but egg behind broken one is). Still a great idea and shot.

Not a fan of the big border, but I love the textures you were able to capture in the picture.

Nice and sharp and looks like a mess. How many scrambled eggs did you eat that day?!?

depth of field on digital cameras are awful......... on this one your use of it is super.

It's not all that different from the other entrys, but I like the color and tint better, and the angle makes it a better photo than most.

Good use of depth of field. Well placed/cropped. Lighting is nice, too.

Far too much frame, its the first thing I see, and it also chops into the subject. Nice DOF.

DOF slightly off for me. Focus is just beyond the egg, and appears to be over sharpened just a tad
