 **scrambling** to get an entry in. Probably won't fare well.

I was hungry, so I started to make myself breakfast. I recalled the "Egg" challenge and decided to shoot some. My dad had just bought an unfinished wood table, so I used that as a background. For my macro tripod, I made little feet out of paper towels, so I wouldn't mar the surface. Anyways, I set this up, threw some eggs beside the pan, and took a handful of shots, with and without my lightsource. though I liked the color of without the lightsource better, I ended up choosing this one ecause it gave the yolk and the table a nice rich color. That and it blocked out the shadow I made from the natural sunlight (my back was to the window)

Screwed around in Compupic pro for a while, then took it into PSE and cloned out that nasty white membrane stuff, along with some visible PAM spray (so the egg won't stick.)

I ate the egg afterwards for breakfast.

I would heve croped a bit more of the right. good lighting but bit harsh on the bottom egg.

Nice use of curves, clean lines, simple yet effective. Lighting was excellent, as was composition. (9)

The eggs and compostion are just perfect; the purple artifacts and noise ruin an otherwise wonderful take.

Great warm colors and lighting. The earthy textures and the worn look of the pan all go well together. I want the table or counter top to be nicked up a bit. The eggs or one egg alone using this same lighting and color would be stunning.
