HEY!
OK. It has en egg so meeting the challenge is out of the way.
I'm guessing it didn't help much that several other people had this idea. I do remember during voting that I liked the selective desaturation. I also like the dof. Showing the side of the table and pocket in the distance helps. I have to agree with your other comments about the stamp on the egg and the reflections on the balls though. They're distracting.
It might've also helped if you were actually lining up a real shot toward a pocket. You'd have to change the camera angle of this rather than just shooting for a different ball b/c I do like the having the stick (? I don't play obviously) at an angle rather than straight on. That would also help move the eye across the shot more.. if there were something else in line with the stick, egg, and ball. As is, it sort of gets stuck in the middle since all the color and interest is there.
Quality is very good. No real technical problems. It's just a tad boring when viewed with a couple hundred other eggs.. maybe that's why I never made it through all the shots during voting. It's really hard to make an interesting shot of an egg. Originality obviously did well in this challenge. ;P
Good luck!

Wish you hadn't put the side with the writting.

This is awesome! I think the print on the egg is a tad distracting though- but you can always clone it out after the challenge. :)

The best before stamp is a bit distracting. Nice clarity though!

I like the play on the Brit terminology

Nice image. Very good focus and photo quality. The image is also well layed out. Good job.

Love this. The balls and egg almost seem suspended in "air".

Good color and focus, the window glare in the balls is a bit distracting

Nice clear image, clever idea. Everything is good and in focus. I like it.

I'd have flipped the label the other way (as I'm sure I'll be one of many to tell you)
