 Taken in my living room with black shirt as base and black coat as a backdrop. Adjusted the levels to make the background completely black, tweaked the saturation and contrast, then unsharpened mask.

I took two series of these, but this was the best of the lot. I really like the positions of the yolks and felt that this really helped to emphasize the title.

The negative space at the top gives this photo a lot of impact. The crop is very good. The glare of light in the yoke and on the shells is a little distracting though.

interesting work... the lighting is dramatic and the color of the yolks stands out nicely... - setzler

Nice shot, I think it may have been better with more of a top-down view, we'd have been able to see more of the yolks that way.

nice use of blackened background. the white is a little dull and on the gray side. maybe a bit increase in exposure compensation

Good commentary, using differently-colored shells with of course the same
color yolks within all.
