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.

Fabulously imagined, composed, and shot! Then, the processing is top notch.

I'm so glad you didn't enter it in the Egg challenge. I'd have missed a ribbon. *grin* (not voting)

I like the idea. A bit busy. Not crazy about being able to see the texture on the wall. Maybe pan back and show more of the reflection in the mirror.
