Hefði verið sniðugt að hafa annað egg við hliðina, þetta er ekki "couple".
Annað:
Eggið er skítugt, skugginn er ekki eðlilegur miðað við egglaga hlut og það skemmir fyrir að ofan á því er það yfirlýst.
Þetta er annars ágætis stæling á listaverkinu við Flugstöð Leifs Eiríkssonar.

A very good photo that is nicely lit and quite sharp. Maybe a bit of a stretch on the odd couple theme.

interesting shot, but you should have had it next to another egg of a chick hatching, then it'd have been an ODD couple

Nicely done. Into my faves. It's odd but I don't know if this really meets the challenge description of being a couple. Still a sweet image. No vote just a comment ;)

This is a sweet a** concept. Very well done. I just don't see how it fits in. "Odd" yes, "couple"...no, or at least i dont see it.

Like the lighting on the egg especially the way it fades into the background at the bottom. Positioned in frame well. 7

How'd you do that! Awesome! Man. I love the lighting on this! I won't mention about wondering what the "odd couple" connection is. . . because I love the photo enough to compensate for it :)
