 Thanks, everyone! I am shocked that this did so well!

For the curious: the egg was cooked inside a round cookie cutter - I had to gently hold the yolk in the middle with a spatula while it cooked until the white hardened sufficiently.

This shot was inspired, in general, by the work of a long-gone dpc'er jonpink, and in particular, by this beautiful, and much better photo by eyewave.

Fantastic colors and set up. The egg is a little underdone for my taste. Next time could you make it over medium? : ) Very nice. Back to bump you up to 9.

I like the brightness of this shot. And the arrangement is nice. And that is a perfectly round egg. Is it real?

Brilliant I love it, although I would of liked the knife to be as glossy/pollished as the fork and spoon.

good composition, POV and color,crop at right is too tight. lighting could be enhanced - coffee and knife are too dark, while the refectons on fork and plate are slightly distracting

Outstanding! Layout, composition, color palette, exposure, POV ... everything. And, of course, use of circles as a key component. :) *10*
