Greetings From the Critique Club
WOW what a first entry and what an outstanding concept you used here the fertilized egg and the light.
About the only thing I see that could have been done differently was a tighter crop on the hands and that is being picky to even say that. This is a fantastic first entry. Hope to see you with a ribbon in the near future.
Best wishes in your next entry.

PS--
To Younger who commented on the "unnaturally long fingers" they belong to me! :) I was too embarrassed to ask other people to help me with the photo so I had to work fast to get into position to take the photo.

Thanks you soooo very much for the encouraging words. I was, and still am, on cloud 9 after this challenge. Quoting Ms. Sally Fields, "You like me...you really like me." :)
* * * * *
I had envisioned the photo and was determined to make it work and tried a couple of different ways to light the egg but regardless of what I did, it seemed futile since the light just wasn't passing through it very well. After several different attempts, I finally decided to drain the egg, through a dime-size hole on the back and then let the egg dry. I was burning a scented candle at the time and realized that I could use the melted wax as the yolk, which formed the yellow circular glow inside the egg. I then purposely burned more of the candle, which made a dark melted wax, poured that into the dried up "yolk" and that formed the shape which simulated the fetus or whatever you want to call the "shape" that's inside the egg. To get the egg to glow, I placed a pen light under the egg and between my hands.
I took several photos, playing with the exposure etc., until I found the right combo. Aside from making the photo the correct dimensions for the challenge, I didn't really do any editing since I don't know how to use photoshop...I was hoping to put a border on it, but since I didn't have the time to figure it out, I just submitted the photo (just barely made it on time).
If anyone has any suggestions as far as good books on learning adobe photoshop elements 3 (never used any photo editing stuff before) I certainly would appreciate a heads up.
Again, much thanks for your encouragement especially those who posted a comment. Btw, now that I've demystified this photo, how did you think I did it? Would be interested to know your thoughts. :) |

I think this is where I put down that this is my first entry "so be kind" :)
I don't think you got any of the pity vote, but certainly got quite a few people's attention.

| Could you please post how this was done? Im guessing the egg was soaked in vineger or oil first? Really nice job! Congrats on a successful first entry! |

| Very good idea for this challenge. I would have tried more shots - I think it would work better is you could improve the symetry on the hands a bit more. |

| would love to see this cropped tighter, not sure that black space is doing the image any favors - love the concept and the exposure is right on - 7 |

| New twist on fragile egg picture...I love it! Lighting is spectacular-not just the egg but how it is completely dark outside of your hands. |
