is a extreem curve on the original (very left sided)
you can see the printed chicken & the shadow of the egg & how it fits in
i was very happy how this came together..
the original chicken came from a clipart book of 1800's woodcuts,scanned in
filled it with black (select background, invert, feather,fill) then used the transform tool to strech it ..
f4 to soften the background 'to be shadow'ish as the clipart was kind'a jaggie...
the light was a fiberoptic microscope light i had picked up at an local auction (15$ !!) gives a good diffused light ... metered on the egg so not to blow it out .... & that blended the real shadow right into the chicken ..
looked at other egg creatures ('gators,snakes other birds) but wanted something that was immead. recognizable ...
this was the last egg in the house ...

Clever, especially the blurring of the chicken-shadow. The positioning of the egg itself is a little uncomfortable, perhaps because it doesn't sit well with the edge of the spotlight.
