I gave this a 5. I thought the texture capture was fairly good but, 'criticism'; if it was either more on an angle, or 'straightened', plus more space around and possibly even a different, more complementary 'base'/background, would likely have given this something extra and made it better in my opinion. The top right on the egg has some 'blown'/overexposed issues, but difficult to control - perhaps a variation in lighting may have helped.

Its not the cracks, but the interesting pattern on the egg that is so intriguing.

interesting egg. the darker patterns on it are kind of cool and the cracks do show up well. the lighting is a bit hot on the highlights

i think you have a great concept for the texture...i think you could really make this better if you choose a different angle to shoot it -- maybe a different position of the egg or a closer crop so that the egg isn't dead center on the photo.
