Eggs are sitting on a home made light table. And also lit from the left. The areas on the bottom are supposed to be overexposed to give this shot some glow. I switched this shot in just a minute exactly before the challenge ended. Yes, I hate those dust spots too, with the angle as such it just picked up the dust over the entire depth of the plate. The version I pulled I like better composition wise, but it's so close. But, it has no dust but is a tad overexposed. Thought the overexposed areas where to be an even worse issue with the voters than the dust here, seeing this is a basic challenge, perhaps the voters would be somewhat forgiving :)

Thanks to everyone for their comments :)
The pink hue comes for the Sat/Hue change for the Yellows. With the White Balance set and use of a warm light the eggs had a slight yellow cast which I then changed to pink. Admit I was a bit clumsy and lazy when shooting this one. I hollowed out the raw eggs before using them, even the one on the right. With the top off, broke 3 of them when trying to stand them up.
I'm not averaging more then 2 challenges a month these past few months. Just been too busy with work.

creative botony take -- the colors are great and the composition works (can't decide if I like the refection or would have liked it without the lighter bottom edge ) -- one of my ribbon picks
I really love the uniqueness about this photo. The only idstraction is the red outline around the green in the flower. I really like the lighting and the reflection. 8
