Real Eggs in Any Form

The foreground blur makes me feel like I’m getting a sneak peak at something wild I shouldn’t be getting a sneak peak at. The focus is clearly on the foot and eggs, though, making this a nice keyhole shot at this animal and its eggs. Excellent work!

Congratulations on winning Judge 2nd Place!

I love this portrait of a man… a man on a motorcycle about to drive out of the frame to deliver nourishment that will eventually feed a community. This image has eggs… and so much more. Bravo!

Congratulations on getting Judge 1st Place!

There are eggs in your photo but there is so much more… there is humanity, a work ethic, a living condition, a lifestyle. This image tells a story of more than a thousand words by capturing 1/60th of a second for the world to see. It’s beautiful.

This is one of the images that stuck with me through the contest. I don’t know if you deliberately placed the rope where it is, or if you found it this way, but this capture has a balanced composition and the contrasting blues against the browns give it an appealing blend of colors. I feel like I am on this pier admiring this nest when I look at this image, and I’ve been in spots just like this many times. Excellent capture!

Congratulations on winning Judge 3rd Place!

This image stuck in my head. I’ve looked at it so many times. The egg next to what it could produce, or the chick next to where it came from. It’s a timeline in one photo. Excellent work!

This is an amazing photo and was a strong contender for top 10. I love wildlife photography and you’ve done fantastic work here!

This photo speaks to me of magic and liches and roleplaying games. It’s creative and well composed. Your lighting, focus, composition are all amazing. Excellent work!

This should be on a wall somewhere.

I find it difficult to wrap my head around every technique required to make this photo. Composites are certainly not my specialty but this finished product is stunning. It’s a story of the heat and chaos that can be found on the line in a busy kitchen. It’s flipping things with a motion of the pan instead of a spatula, it’s a timeline of what happens to the egg. Excellent work!

I’m a huge fan of Xenomorphs, and this made me laugh. I can imagine going to crack an egg and a mini face hugger jumps out. Too small to be harmful, probably will get swatted by a cat 😂 Your other submissions did too. This is a very creative, pop-culture-relevant composition and now I want to go binge Alien again. Excellent work!

I’m a huge fan of minimalism, and you’ve used it to tell me a story. The texture of the flour, the hole for the egg, my hands are freshly washed and I’ve just dipped them in water, I’m about to knead that egg into that flour and make… something. A loaf of bread? Cake? Biscuits? Either way the outcome will be delicious. As someone who’s baked hundreds of loaves of homemade bread in his lifetime, I appreciate this. Excellent work!

This photo makes me feel like I’m about to make a Bundt cake. I’ve got the ingredients prepped and I’m about to enrich the flour with the egg and… oops! A little spill. Let me set some stuff down and go grab a rag.

Your composition, lighting, and focus are great. Excellent work!

This is extremely creative. It’s composed nicely, exposed nicely, and the story you’ve told here is amazing.
