I had trouble getting the richness of color I was looking for and I only just noticed that part of the set-up is visible under the egg. No spot-editing allowed in this challenge though, so there it stays.
I had this idea on the last day and decided to switch my entry to this one.. we'll see if it is well received or not.

While I like the idea of this image, I have to say that its been rather poor executed: these kind of abstract images have to be on a very high quality to work well here and get high votes. So jpeg-artifacts must be avoided and the light has to be set very well.
It took me some time to realize that the egg is at an edge: the background-color and the table color are to simillar.
lots of colour noise and shadaws, which makes me think you could have lit this differently (perhaps bouncing light with a little reflector or some paper to fill in the shadows). crisp focus and nice concept though. Pedro
