 Was on my way out the door for a business trip to Sweden and only had 20 minutes to shoot and edit. I already had the idea but not sure how well it will fit with the "twisted" topic.
No flash was used as that only resulted in burned out areas on the egg. I was in a dark room and used a small LED light and light-painted the egg for 20 seconds.

Luckily it was basic so only minimal editing which takes much less time.

I'm not usually a fan of photos with forks as I think it's over used subject in DPC entries, but this is the exception. A very clever use of them here. It easily meets the challenge. Balancing an egg on them is a bonus. Great job. Good luck.

Uh, the challenge was Twisted. Not Curved.

Good clean lines and gentle curves set against the spark curves of the forks. Nicely done,

Given the egg that was submitted under the 'backlighting' - this seems a bit too recycled to me. I'm afraid my eye searches for focus too.
