This is a fun still life. I like the spoon for scale. Clever idea using the egg half-shell as a pot. A few minor spots on the glass and egg could be cleaned up (nothing too major). Backdrop seam is a quite evident...not sure whether that matters much or not. I noticed it, so I bring it up. Overall, nicely done. Good luck in the challenge.
