Challenge: Met the challenge perfectly, while still maintaining originality and creativity.
Technique: Clever! This is really a gorgeous shot that should have scored a bit higher in my opinion. It has a very "high-tech" look and feel to it. I am curious how you got it to stand up on it's own.
Overall: I really don't see anything I would change here. Your lighting and cropping are awesome, and nothing detracts from the image. I apologize for the short critique, but this really is WELL DONE!
Very nice piece! The egg shell reminds me of a martian orbit shot or something like that. I don't know how it would have worked, but might I suggest a lighting mask to dim the harsh glare below/behind the egg. Otherwise a very cool shot! 9 Swash
Nice effect here I didn't know it is possible! The light might be just a little too harsh at the bottom of the egg on both sides, but other than that it is very good.
