Never put all your eggs in one basket, or so the saying goes. Just bought a half-dozen eggs and figured hey, there were a lot of eggs in a few challenges prior to this, so why not? My score will be why not, but that's beside the point!

Afternoon gray light through the window in the sewing room, where the guest kitty is staying. Metal basket thingie that has no particular use other than serving as a prop for this picture apparently.

Oh, and Happy Birthday DPC!

Nice defining highlights on the metal rings of that bowl. Such a simple shot, even simple lighting, but it's perfect. Congratulations on 6th place!

This was one of the ones I liked in this challenge. I thought the lighting was beautiful and also I loved seeing the textures on the eggs. Nice touch with using a brown egg in the mix. How cool is it that you got 6th place in the "6" challenge? Sweet!

woohoo...Two 90%+ in a day...

Great lighting in this shot, and although you are right that eggs seem to have figured quite hevily in recent challenges I think this is a very nice and different take on the subject

Fantastic sharpness, focus and composition and very well deserving of the top 10 placement

Nice lighting in this
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Does one of the eggs not match or is it just the lighting?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/24/2008 09:26:06 PM
excellent still life study - the shadows really work well to show the textures of the eggs
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice lighting on this. Nice idea too. Not sure about the white border, maybe black would have been better for a modern look.

Actually... that's quite good. I really like the one browner egg.

amazing lighting and beautiful tones. i am not so sure that one brown egg adds to the shot that much. i like it nonetheless.

classic subject in a contemporary style. very good composition and lighting, like the tight crop. border is slightly distracting.
