9th: Which Came First?
(take two)
by MFC

The age old question...
Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

This take was shot with a black background. Two desk
lamps were angled to provide indirect light to
the subjects. Two pieces of white paper were
folded and placed on either side of the subjects
to further act as light filters/diffusers.

Sony DSC-F707
20s f/6.3 at 9.7mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Perhaps it's not as clever or imaginative as your third take, I like this one even more for it's simplicity. The message is clear enough for me even without the hen :-). Outstanding!

Beautiful image - I love the lighting and contrast with the black background, and the feathery texture!

Beautiful shot, Mike. The egg really looks like it is floating on the feather. I like the color difference with the feather and egg also.

Creative! I was thinking of how to use an egg. Great job! The feather looks really awesome.

Very nice indeed, I like the curves that rule the picture. Cheers, MCsaba

This one even tops take one IMHO. I love the composition here and the two color arrangement. The egg is really floating on the feather. Great!
