I guess unless you had a fake eyeball you could get in the egg from the back . . . not sure how you would do this without doing a composite.lol But it would be interesting to see somebody try :) Cindy

Michael thanks for the response.
I am little disappointed that its a composite.
Dont care how you arrived at this...I really...really LOVE THIS.
Great job.

Thanks all for the compliments. RK, this is a composite of two images. The eye is one image. The cracked egg shell with tear (90 second epoxy resin) and background is the second image. The two images combined with some dodging and burning for hilights/shadows around the broken shell edges. -Michael

Awesome work.
Michael, is this a composite?...if not...would you mind educating us(me) on how you composed this.

I really do love this shot. It makes my eye hurt to look at it - in a good way, though :) Jim H.

Impressive Michael. The shadows, background, line, tones, tear. Emotional too. Well Done. Cindy
