 I had been watching these goose eggs at the park. It seems that they were abandoned by their mother. Unfortunately, seagulls found them and ate them.

Too many of the eggs shots are predictable, but this one's different, shot in it's natural environment, broken into by savangers. Nice find.
However, the broken egg looks placed/setup because the others are buried in the nest.

Now THAT's the way to show a 'Broken' egg! ;^) No faking this one. Very nice lighting, appropriate use of DOF, and well composed. 8

Good luck in the challenge.

Well, I've already voted and I like this image. I'm bummed that someone had to single your entry out in the following thread on the forums. Hope it doesn't impact your score negatively.

NOT ANOTHER EGG!

BTW, I've bumped you to a 10 to help offset any backlash from the above mentioned item. Good luck! ;^)
