I put these eggs into vinegar four 2 days and the shell disolved completely just leaving the inner membrane and I was surprised at the effect.

Cool pic. I used to do this as a kid. We called them "rubber eggs" because the bounce a little.

COMPOSITION
I think the composition of this is very strong in part to your arrangement of the shells and "remains." You have managed to build a triangle which fills the frame nicely, but doesn't leave it looking overly crowded. Also, the eyes are drawn to the center of the composition, but it is not overly busy, and not static, either.

TECHNIQUE
Great focus and lighting. My only teeny-weeny nitpick is the shadow in the egg shell on the right. Since there are no noticeable shadows elsewhere, this one stands out ot me. Great clarity.

OVERALL EFFECT
Hmmm, I will have to store this idea away for future science projects. Is the resulting membrane delicate? It looks kinda like wood or something. Good work, and it is well done. I'm surprised that it didn't score higher (but only partially because I know how unpredictable the voters are sometimes! :P)

Best wishes in future challenges.

I was going to try this, but didnt have any vinegar. I wondered if it was possible to peel the shell/membrane like a banana.

the white crowns are a humorous touch......... these eggs are amazing. Your functional and utilitarian back in black is stock and is good with this still life.

The dark background really makes the egg shells come to life. I did not that vinegar would do that to eggs. Nice pic.
