Thank you all. To answer, no foot inside and I cooked the egg just in case. I would have liked to put the egg on end but was limited w/ where I could do this and all of the smoke and mirrors :( Also, the composition wasn't working for me at the time. I know this is one of my better shots (but I see a lot more flaws in it - an artist is his own worse critic)
I like your idea, almost more of a funny photo. The black and white does well with your subject. I don't know about the dark area in the upper left corner, though. It's kind of drawing me away a bit. Overall, nice job!
Wish the photo was straight... the edge of your surface is tilted badly. Shame, as the rest of the picture is good... great lighting and range of tones.
Great Unique Concept. It would have been harder and better if you had done the egg end on since that is where it is the strongest, but it is still a great shot and it reaceived one of my highest grades for the contest.
