 This is my 3rd entry to this challenge. Unsubmitted each time because I thought there could be something better to be done. 1st was The Eggsters, 2nd A fragile key chain, and now this one.

Lighting: Top lighting inside a home made light box

I really wish this was an advanced challenge, so that I could clone out the stray marks on the egg. :(

I know Mother Teresa would not use an ear-ring. However although I consider this photo as a tribute to Mother Teresa, I wanted to symbolize the cultural dressing style of Kerala (India) christians. So I beg your pardon on the same.

I guess one of the out-takes would have performed better. Anyhow thanks for the comments.

Love the concept. Unfortunately the earing, however rich in authenticity, is a stumbling block. What rings true is that Mother Eggressa is not an adept with lipstick.

not a bad picture at all, but the egg looks dirty which takes away from the overall affect.

You obviously put some work into this but it's just not a very appealing image
