 MM eggs, my first photograph with my new D100!

FWIW, I don't like this image either.

Greetings from the critique club
Well, I'm finding this extremely difficult to critique!

I've had it waiting for two days now, and guess I better try and say something.

It's an interesting idea. The repeating elements are a good idea.
The lighting is off a bit, too bright on the right edge, too flat elsewhere.

I would have trimmed the egg. The burnt edges are not a great addition.
(unless this was a commentary I'm missing)

I'm afraid I don't understand what the title references. Not that, that really matters.

Colours are clean and crisp. The arrangement is a bit static.

Of course, this is just my opinion.

A nice geometric study of shape. Not sure about the inclusion of the egg with the burnt edges though. Maybe soft boiled would have been better here. Also, the directional light is good, but a bit strong and overexposed in the upper right. But overall, I think it has good aesthetics, and you have an artistic eye.

Nice order to this shot. I like the colors and the symmetry. Maybe a tad more light needed especially to the green mug side. Cool setup.

I like the concept & circular theme =) The light on the right seems to put a glare on the red cup; would have liked the light to be even across the shot if it was possible.

Very very nice coloration. The simplicity of it tied in well with the mood of the photo. The colors are great in this one.

I don't get the title.
Big border works fairly well here.
Cool symmetry. Right side needs more light.

Nice, an almost abstract effect.

This is good, I like the position of the shot, the colors are in wonderful contrast with each other, with the red and green, the eggs being perfectly centered adds the concept of shape 9
