This is really really nice - many interesting lines - how did it fall through the cracks and miss public notice??

Nice detail and pattern of the shadows on this. I find the focal point to be too much in the center, though. I think it would have flowed much better with a different crop.

The more I look at this shot, the more I like it. A simple, yet very effective interpretation of the challenge. White, Silver, and Light are not easy to work with by themselves, never mind all together. Well above my average! Nice Job.

I likw how you used shadow to make a pattern on the eggs and how the pattern on the eggs is balance with the full shadow.

The hot spot in the back of the picture is a bit distracting. But it was a good idea to cast the shadows on the eggs.

Great idea and well titled. Personally would have preferred a tighter crop to exclude the second row of eggs.

I'm just blown away at all the mundane everyday items that folks found patterns in, this one among them. I was ready to drive two hours to photograph a bridge, but after this challenge I now know that there were dozens of patterns right under my nose. This is a great creative shot, I love the chromatic refraction in the upper right hand corner, just shaking my head at the creativity. well done.
