 It is an idea of my son, he had seen a show on tv where they dropped eggs out of a plane, most of them didn't break! They also showed a very strong men who tried to squeeze an egg in his hand, he could not break it. by the way, this picture has nothing to do whit easter.
Had a lot of work adjusting levels and colours, forgot to switch a tubelamp of, there was a green haze over the picture. Cropped, usm and neatimage to remove the noise and make the picture softer, it was to sharp.

The two specs on the egg are annoying. Good lighting, great background.

The way this shot is done, the subject seems to be more the hand than the egg. The focus is right on for the skin bringing out the imperfections in the fingers and nails, which I think distracts from the egg a lot. The contrast between the hand and the dark backgroung also emphasizes the hand.

Bey you wish this was an advanced editing chalenge. The imperfections in the egg, the digital spots on third finger, the dust spot above the thunb, and the digital noise that outlines the entire hand really distract from a a great studio concept. I can see you interpretation of strenth, think that you lighting is good, and your composition is excellent. Nice work! 7
