Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
A definitely impressive shot; an eye-catcher! The reflective surface the eggs are on -- is it aluminum foil?

@Viewfinder: You got it in one Viewfinder! I was setting up an idea for a painting and this is the result. Well spotted!
@Shahab: Your comment is very welcome Shahab - thanks! :)

I actually find the tones and textures here very celebratory. :) Reminds me of an 'old' Chinese tradition which I like very much - parents celebrate the birth of their child by giving gifts of eggs (dyed in red, though! personally I think your colours here are much lovelier, Bron :) ) to their relatives and friends (nowadays the eggs tend to get replaced by round cakes, but personally i like the eggs better :) ) when the baby turns a month old, an occasion dubbed the "full month" of the baby.
I like your image here today, Bron. It reminds me of fullness, new life, the potential and promise of growth that lies ahead, and celebration. :-)

tengtan from Melbourne, Australia
Striking contrast between the smooth circular geometry of the eggs and the distorted amorphousness of the reflections. Well rendered indeed.
