*Critique Club*
Will start off by saying that this is wonderful. Well deserving of the high placing.
I was thinking that when I first saw this, that I would like to have seen the egg further into the lower right corner. But then picturing it, I think that may put the egg too much out of the shot and that you wouldn't be able to really tell it was an egg then. So maybe that's why you placed the egg where it is to begin with.
Then, I was thinking what if we could see more of the egg, but still have it in the lower left of the photo. Maybe move the crop down a bit?? Anyway, something that could be played with. I'm sure you already did, but there is just something slightly off about the crop.
Lighting is what really makes this shot I think. That, and the fact that there are tacks sticking into an egg. lol I love the shadows. The only lighting 'flaw' I see is that on the tack to the far left, it makes a little shadow with a bright circle in the center of it. It seems 'non uniform' to the rest of the photo. Not a big deal, but kind of breaks the pattern a bit.
The background is perfect, nice solid, no distractions.
I can't offer any more than that. Congrats and again, nice shot. ~Heather~ |

Nico: again you have outdone yourself. Your efforts are indeed creative. You are becoming a regular hitter. Keep up the creativity.
Congratulations on your 6th finish.

| Would have liked to have seen the whole egg in the shot. Great clarity, though! |

| Very visually pleasant image. Its simple, yet engaging. I like the clarity and texture of the egg. Some thought obviously went into the lighting. This will be reflected in the score I give you :) One of the best in the challenge. :) |

| looks great. love the texture and tones here. one of my tow challenge favorites. the only thing preventing this from being a 10 is that the brightest white spot on the egg looks blown out to me. |

| Haha. Exquisite b&w; sharp, contrasty, and not a spec of grain. |

| Nice B&W. Good clarity. Interesting creativity as well. Bothers me a bit that "tacks" are suggested below the bottom border.... Still one of my top picks - good job. |

| Nice idea! I think the light may be too harsh on one side though. A more even (but certainly not equal) distribution of light would've benefited this image. |

| Cool! I was going to do something like this - but you used an egg! there are no tacks in this image. ;) Very well done. Bizarre - I like it. 10 |

| Very creative composition. The lighting and setup are also well done. This is quite an interesting image and certainly my favorite to win the blue. Great job to come up with this on a 24 hour challenge. |

| Increggible sharpness and detail here. Nice lighting. Minor distracting parts of tacks in the dark part of egg, but I still love it. |
