Cool effect. The DOF works well for me. A different texture for the background might add another element, such as a silky sheen or fuzzy cotton to contrast with the shell finish? Just some alternative choices.

Robert, Thank you. Good idea on the background. I used a blue posterboard for this photo. I may just use your idea with a fuzzy cotton. I have several other ones on this theme but haven't stopped picking at them yet. Dwight

Not much to say here Dwight, excellent composition and dof, the lighting is supurb and the clarity and detail is spot on. Great work and congrats on BIP award, I've always wanted to get the egg BIP, but never really submitted much.

James, Thank you! I was blown away when I got the BIP as I never figured it would rate that high. I played with about 100 images lastnight and after a lot of trying to decide which was best settled on this one. I'm I ever glad I did. You keep shooting them eggs and I bet you get a BIP too. Regards, Dwight

Mohamed, Thank you, sir. Dwight


Don Loseke   {K:32503} 7/8/2005
Very nice Dwight, my only suggestion would be to try and get more DOF with a smaller f stop. Wonderful colors. Don.


Dwight Parks   {K:4423} 7/9/2005
Thank you Don, I did shoot several at f/11. f/16 and f/22. I'm still going thru and working them so I may post others in the next day or so. I'm glad you like this. Dwight

Dwight Parks   {K:4423} 7/11/2005
Ricardo, Thank you Sir for the kind remarks. I'm glad you've enjoyed my work and with the help of many members here on Usefilm it has improved, I think. I spend many hours here viewing images and reading reviews and then trying to reach a level that will catch many eyes. When it happens, it's magic. Regards, Dwight

Hi Dwight -- I'm learning much from this wonderful shot, a day after I did my own "egg shoot" in MF, very slow shutter with natural light, hoping to post late next week. DoF here is a matter of choice, I think, and it works beautifully here. I'm going for a white on white effect and hope to avoid too much PS to make it right. You've got fine work here...


Dwight Parks   {K:4423} 11/28/2005
Thank you Ned, I'm glad you enjoyed this and hope you get some great captures. I pushed the blue effect on this as the project I was working on was a blue theme. I started not to enter this on usefilm but I'm so glad I did now. Regards, Dwight


Michael Trembath   {K:3235} 11/28/2005
Extremely well made shot Dwight, the amount of work you put into it really shows. The composition is simple, yet effective - I love the subtle detail and the colour too. Did you take time in selecting your eggs as they all look identical and without any imperfections. All the best for the future!

Michael


Dwight Parks   {K:4423} 11/30/2005
Thanks Michael, I tried to find the three best eggs out of a dozen and these were the winners. As far as size went I looked for plus models ;-) Thank you for the nice comment! Regards, Dwight
