Fun piece. Great imagination. The cactus on the left is distracting.

the light on the (unbroken) eggs is pretty harsh -- they almost look fake. i really like how you kept almost the entire shadow, though -- i think it's a really important part of this photo that demonstrates the intensity of the sun.

Haha... I wouldn't be surprised if a case of dessert salmonella comes up!

Ha! I love it! Clever. I wonder how you could have gotten it to look even more "frying". Great concept, really like the black and white, and love the cactuses, rocks, and the 2 extra eggs. Might really want to get rid of that contrasting angle in the upper left corner though.

Would have rated higher if you had more contrast between the concrete and eggs. But, a great idea for a shot.

I live in Mexicali, Baja California Mexico, and you, actually, can do that. Tip: better taste if you cooking on the car.

very funny. I like th fact that the shadow is harsh on the subject. adds to the fact that the sun is beating down
