HI SONIFO!!!

COMPOSITION
Your composition has a very stable effect, primarily because of the centered position, I think. The eyes rest on the eggs, then follow the shape of the bowl-container thingy downward. For some reason, the number of eggs bothers me -- maybe an odd number would allow you to form a definite triangle shape or pyramid and this would give a more balanced feeling to it. Just a minor nitpick though, and probably just a personal thing.

TECHNIQUE
Great macro work. Your focus is right on, and the lighting works well. The colors are nice. The one non-blue egg (the greenish one) really sticks out, I think. The bowl thing is blue, you have a blue egg, a pink egg and a blue/pink egg, leaving the yellow one with nothing to "tie it" into the picture. On the one hand, this may have appealed to some by making one element stand out. On the other, it may have made some people feel that something was off. Maybe if there was some green or yellow elsewhere, it would tie the egg more into the picture.

OVERALL EFFECT
A very nice shot. Colorful and well done. Congrats and best wishes in future challenges.

The black background certainly makes the still life stand out. Very colourful shot.

Good lighting and color. May have worked better in another bowl that was less like the color of the eggs though.

The colour combination is amazing! Somehow you've create an illusion that the top of this vase is leaning back in perspective to the bottom. This is very good and will get a top score, I know it.
