My last pic from the 30day b/w challenge. Posted on the 29th. Though I got only 8shots in, this one included ;) I'll keep adding. The 30day group was lots of fun. The "Hold Back Time" shot was a strong contender but it was posted longer. I hoped not many had the time to view this one, so it tipped the scale. Hope you all don't mind. I may get voted down by some, if they do recognize it. I'll just hope they skip it :)
-----------------------

Thanks for the comments, votes and faves everyone :)
I beat my average. So I'm glad. Still Life shots are tough subjects for a Free Study. I'm also glad you appreciated the concept and uniqueness of the shot. That's what I was going for.

most unusual but good effort in your attempt to come up with something different. Great clarity and the b/w works well.

Pretty simple, but what makes this is your excellent control on the lighting.

This is different and unexpected for the challenge. I love it. The detail on the vice and the cracked egg is great. Perfect in black and white - it showcases all of the various tonal ranges from white to gray to charcoal to back. The title is perfect.
