Egg for Fred Hollows?

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Hi,
I hang my head a little low, as I humbly ask for your thoughts...

I really wanted to capture somehting special for the Fred Hollows Exhibit, and all shoots to capture my ideas have failed to produce... so in searching my stock, what do you think about re-using my submission from Challenge 10 (Egg)...

Let me know if you think it suits the theme, and is of fit, "All things Ordinary, seem Extraordinary"...

Oz - I'm not a huge fan of this image for the theme...but mate if YOU like it and think it's a worthy entry, then do it :)

Nothing against it, I just don't think it's one of your best.

i prefer the lower angle. the first shot gives away the setup too much :)

Oz - I reckon it suits the theme but prefer the second version with the lower angle of view. However, I find the horizontal light-coloured line (just left of the reflection in the top right) a little distracting. If you agree, perhaps some judicious cloning or healing may be the go.
