Damn, this should have done better. Images with an extremely short DOF don't often do too well here, as you're painfully aware I'm sure. Very nice texture in the tiles, great colour. I really like the depth in this shot.
beautiful photo.. the soft ligithing here is a powerful element of this photo.. the surface fade to black also works very well... excellent work :) = 10 - setzler
I like the setting that you have placed the egg in (the lines, colors, and lighting). I'm a little torn whether or not I would have made the egg more in focus.... I think I can like it either/or... nice job!
I can't make this the winner, but only because it isn't quite as stiking as my favourite: a solid 9 though - I love that line of contrast between the top of the egg and the black, and the light|contrast with the relected light underneath the egg. Did you try a version with the egg placed further to the right of the composition? I'd be interested to see that ...
