I had intended to do a very different shot but it didn't work so rather I settled for this instead. A small box of eggs (original shot in mod section), much cloning and then some local colourisation.

Eggstremely good (sorry Smile) Like the metallic-look and the colours work really well together.

A click for the PS work alone. I still can't work out how you got the cloning so seemless.

Great idea, looked very abstract from the thumbnail. Very pleasing to the eye.......................click*

Very different from the origimal shot taken with loads of thought & colour processing put in. The result I think is outstanding!

I clicked on this simply because the thumbnail told me to.

Very surprised that this only received a few clicks, deserves more IMO.

Nice one Pete

Great idea - wonder if the perspective is not quite square on as the image seems to "lean" a little (only a fraction) left to right. Perhaps the egg box was not quite square on to your camera. Love the idea though wonder if brighter stronger colours would improve impact and I would have maybe avoided symmetry between first and last column of eggs. Nit picky sod - sorry!

Coming across like one of these optical games that plays havoc with the eye sight. A hell of a lot of work Pete, but worth it for originality.
Thanks for the Birthday Wishes appriciated, and yes the music was good.

Cheers Victor

great looking image pete - the opposing egg colour really stands out well against the others. i'm wondering what the chicks/chickens will look like if the eggs are this range of colours - will make for an interesting site =)

keep up the great work - this was definitely worth the effort put in

A lovely composition muted tones and manipulation,At Easter here in Cyprus they paint boiled eggs and crack them together and who evers cracks first is the loserSmile
Pauline.

Very striking Pete. Excellent graphic.

IMHO it would have benefited from either a slight crop on the left to mirror the right edge or - preferably - an inclusion of a bit more of the tray on the right to mirror the left edge... (DOes that make sense?)

My compliments.

Mike

Eggs are relatively boring (though tasty with ketchup) - but you've made them alot more exciting to look at in their original form here. Great abstract.
