Thank you for your thoughts. I agree of course on the ISO part, but as I tried to explain, it was chosen on purpose in order to try the camera out. Had I known that the shot actually would be this interesting in the end, I'd taken several more while the egg still was remaining on the glass. As it was now it was dished away ánd I couldn't go through the effort of cracking a new one. The "stand" as you call it, really is olive oil. Wanted something a little sticky, a little shiny, and as a bonus got a nice green tone. The line helps the picture I think, I removed it, but it didn't win anything on it. Agree that it could be more dominant / long, but it wasn't in the original and I didn't want to use the clone on this one. Same thing for the shadow being all-in. I have that in another (blurry) shot, but it sure doesn't add to the composition in my opinion, it looks nearly PS-mirrored. So the cropped shadow is there on purpose too. I'll try to recreate this again, with ISO 200 some day when I'm really bored. It did take a wihle to get it right.
Again, thanks for your input. |
