Coming back to clarify the title before voting starts. I liked "Scrambled Eggs," but I sent it to a non-DPC friend to look at, and she said, "I don't get it, it's a nice picture of scrambling eggs, but I don't see how it's a misunderstanding." Sigh. Too subtle.
PP:
- Crop
- Curves
- smart blur on inside of bowl on left side of beater to reduce noise
- slight gaussian blur inside bowl to right of beater
- clone out dust on background cloth, and a few small milk spatters
- adjustment layer - brightness/contrast; mask everything but eggs and decrease brightness
- do same as above with milk
- Hue/Saturation: Dial down hue on yellow a tad
- Hue/Saturation: partial desaturation of red and blue
- resize
- unsharp mask
- border
- save for web
This was my first "studio" shoot -- and I used every possible lamp and bulb and non-professional light source I had laying around the house. I am pretty happy with this, but I know it would be better with better lighting and a better camera.

I can't see the misunderstanding in the photograph without the title. Try to let the photo tell the viewer what the misunderstanding is before they read the title. Nice use of slow shutter speed with a controlled blur though.
