While this is a staged moment, it is so well done I can't argue with it. This is because the idea is clever and imaginative and the composition works. My only complaint is I would have liked to have seen the yellow of the yolk more clearly. Perhaps if the composition had been arranged on a lighter background?
Serendipity is a difficult concept to visualize. For me it means being at the right place, at the right time, and being lucky enough to capture something unique. Some of these entries are set up shots trying to illustrate that concept, and some record a serendipitous moment experienced by the photographer themselves. This is an example of the former. I think the a flash, or bright lighting, and the resulting contrast is distracting.
A very good idea, but I think you could have spent some more time on the lighting. The dark background doesn't seem to work well and the indistinct colour of the liquid in the foreground needs to be a bit more vivid. I can see the "best before" stamp on the egg!
It's an interesting idea but the staging needs a little work. The background does not benefit the photo - the colors of the floor are too close to the eggshell and lose the color of the yolk. The inside of the egg is overexposed and draws the eye away from the treasure, which is a shame.
Nice idea and the performance is ok. A cleaner breakage of the eggshell would maybe have been better thou of cours this is what you might expect when it falls on the floor.
Yes. I think that does "represent" Serendipity; although as an image it is a little yucky for my taste. My entry showed a serendipitous event and scene for me, but does not repesent the idea of it.
