It's an egg! This is an egg held up by a piece of wire sitting on a piece of white foamcore. Two little work lights, one bottom left, one bottom right.

Thanks for the votes and comments everyone! Just missed my top row with this one.
Oh yea, just in case there was any confusion, it was indeed a joke. :)

Excellent image which is the perfect visual reinforcement for the message the poster conveys.
Propaganda doesn't work when people don't understand what they are reading. I can guess what Fecundity means, but I don't know for sure and haven't bothered to look it up. Not sure what a better catch word would be, but I'm thinking there may be more accessible words to choose from heh. Still, this was all about the phrase at the bottom and that message was crystal clear.
I laughed like hell when I saw this. I think this pulled a solid score that was well deserved on technical merit and for meeting the challenge.
Well done, this was a really creative and fun entry.
Funny! Guys go around fertilizing chicken eggs? :))))) I was going to say the image is too centred, but with that message, how could it not be centred? ~8
This looks like it's from some sort of weird science fiction movie where women have been redefined - distilled to a primary purpose in the superficial eyes of the provider of "seed". The alternate poster would maybe have signs of male extinction and females generating their own "seed" from ... let's say the stem cells of oysters. I personally am torn because I don't want to judge it on moral grounds - in case it is meant to be tongue in cheek. no vote here -but good luck getting this past women voters (it will be interesting to see how many 1's this gets).
OK that's a very funny idea if a bit offensive. I do think the title weakens the idea- isn't it more about ambition or initiative, than simple fecundity?
ROFL this is priceless! This has got to be top 10! Simple but very effective! Very Clever! If this is not on the front page when voting is over I'll be peeved! LOL.
and next you will give "mother-crosses" to every woman with more than 5 children? very questionable message going along with a perfect egg shot, which i had scored a 10. I won't vote on this because I strongly disagree with the content.
