hey, dont know if they gave you credit, but i found your pic here

Photographer found comment helpful.

this is really fabulous

Photographer found comment helpful.

You're a genius! I want your brain!

Photographer found comment helpful.

This is indeed a great shot...

tho if dichotomy was the theme you are only half there... the egg is shown well as two distinct sections, but the yin/yang symbol you have used represents how one thing flows to another, how in darkness there is light and in light, darkness. Very much opposite the idea of dichotomy where nothing can belong simultaneously to both parts, and everything must belong to one part or the other. I suppose you could always claim this dichotomy of definition was your original intent....

Ive seen this shot before. This is more well done most definetly, but i only give points for neatness, not originality. I dont know who shot it but heres a link that shows it:

I want to clarify something. I think I said I liked the shot but I've seen it before. That's all. Nice portfolio and congratulations on your blue ribbon.

Really? I'd like to see that! So much for originality. :-/

I like the shot. It is well done and catchy and it seemed like it took a long time to set up, but I've seen it before in a source book. It is essentially the same shot.

Photographer found comment helpful.

simply amazing.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Congrats on you 14th blue! :P

Photographer found comment helpful.

Now let's see you do that again.... hatrick?

congrats mate

Photographer found comment helpful.

yea, the "Photographer's Comments" are exciting even more than the photo itself ... simply great. Congratulations !! ... photo rocks also :-)

Photographer found comment helpful.

You say the idea "just clicked" -- I wish I'd have such inspiration (and then the patience and the technical skill to back it up)! Anyhow, congratulations... I'm happy to be one of your 10s. :-)



Photographer found comment helpful.

I'm so glad this shot was yours... you always take the time to give the explanations and stories behind your creative shots, and they're usually just as interesting as the shots themselves. It's great to read your progression from an idea, through the 'how-to', with the adjustments you needed to make to get that final shot. For instance, while I was voting, I was so impressed with how you could have possibly gotten the yolk and egg separated so neatly, I never made the connection to the lighting which completed the edge of the shape. Great job, and congrats on yet another ribbon! So, how many eggs did you actually go through? :)

Photographer found comment helpful.

Congratulations! My original comment was, "How many eggs did it take?" Thanks for answering!

Photographer found comment helpful.

congraulations Shannon. such a clean shot.

Photographer found comment helpful.

yeah, pretty good. ;-Þ



Congratulations again. I didn't have time to think of anything for Dichotomy, let alone carry it out.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Excellent idea. Congratulations on your ribbon. Very nice job.

Photographer found comment helpful.

I like to imagine the looks of consternation on your family's faces as you go through these insane contortions to get your images, Shannon. Me, I just shoot whatever I stumble across :-) I guess that's why you're a superstar...

Comments Made During the Challenge

Really nice job of getting the yolk out and not breaking it! Symbolism arranged well here.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Predict this will finish in top 3. 9

Photographer found comment helpful.

pretty freakin cool...you're an eggspert! (sorry couldnt resist) /10

Photographer found comment helpful.

classic DPC kitsch, which I usually bomb, but I gotta give you a 6 just for that title.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Hahaha thats an ace pic and one of the most original I've seen yet. Beats the hell out of the "sea meets sky" pics. Must have taken a while to get to.



Played.

Photographer found comment helpful.

very creative..9

Excellent!

Photographer found comment helpful.

Wonderful. Had me in stitches - and that was before I saw the title! I can only say how highly jealous I am of your wit and creativity.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Genius

Photographer found comment helpful.

The ying and the yang, cool shot.

Photographer found comment helpful.

PERFECTION!!! how cute! I LOVE IT!

Photographer found comment helpful.

wow...you have some serious artistic ability!

Photographer found comment helpful.

So very cool

Photographer found comment helpful.

Easy does it. How many eggs did it take? 9

Photographer found comment helpful.

eheheh very funny.

Photographer found comment helpful.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HOW AMAZING. What a wonderful take on the cliche!!!! 10.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Love the wit. Very nice. Sorry, nothing to add. Good lucke

Photographer found comment helpful.

Now that's a clever shot, congrats.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Very creative! Don't know HOW in the world you cut the egg that cleanly but BRAVO on the outstanding effort! I really like this one. Nice title too *9*

Photographer found comment helpful.

This one is my pick for the blue. Simply amazing!

Photographer found comment helpful.

wow, good work... must have been tough to get it right

Photographer found comment helpful.

eggcellent! sorry. very clever indeed.

Photographer found comment helpful.

great idea.

perhaps a tiny tighter crop?

Photographer found comment helpful.

Super cool! Good luck with this one. soooooo, inventive.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Oh fantastic!

Photographer found comment helpful.

Very creative idea, Beautifully executed too. Lighting is just right and its amazing that you got the egg white cut up to the perfect size. 9

Photographer found comment helpful.

Top 5, no doubt - high marks for both the visual impact and the degree of difficulty.

Photographer found comment helpful.

This is actually very cool. You've got the yin yang for dichotomy but you've also put humor into the title by using the subject (egg) to form the idea of segregation where you've separated the yolk from the white. There's so much to think about in this one. Way cool. And the technicals are very good as well making this a well rounded (no pun intended) shot for this challenge. 10

Photographer found comment helpful.

This can't have been easy, well done :)

Photographer found comment helpful.

nice lighting, creative shot

Photographer found comment helpful.

When this challenge was first announced, I figured there would a lot of yin yang type pictures, but this one is very creative/uniquely done. Thanks for the pleasant surprise :)

Photographer found comment helpful.

This looks like a winner to me. Excellent, creative yin/yang shot.
