Thanks for all the nice comments except for the one from;

I have no idea what he is talking about, how else could I get the egg two colors, just look at the highlights makes it obvious enough, clearly louddog didn't understand this challenge, as his score shows. Anyway, I had fun and learned a thing or two with this one.

Really nice shot. You managed to maintain the eggshell's texture even in the most brightly lit area. Once this Basic rules contest is over, I think it might make the white vs brown coloring stand out even more if you darkened the background a bit, or made it white. Good job!

Wonderfully elegant and simple composition that puts this shot above most others - the texture and luminesence of the shell is great along with the highlight around the edge to firmly define the edges.

An effective study on the shape of eggs and use of light.

Simple but elegant rendering of the theme. Hope it does well in the voting. Good comp, levels, color and contrast. Bright spot on the egg is a bit hot. Don't know if you could have improved with just basic editing, thogh. (9)

I thought this was one of the coolest compositions in the challenge. It was also one of the few times that I liked a photo that had hightlights that clipped, but I did. Nice shot.

Beautiful use of lighting. Sumptous color. A simple, elegant image. It looks like a jewel.
