Description

One day at the office, I boiled an egg for my lunch. My office had a small kitchen. Actually my office isn't in a fancy high rise building. Just a small place where we colaborate architecture. Well anyways...I noticed something funny on the egg surface. A reflection of the sky light above. So I grabed my camera and try to shoot it. It was difficult at first cause the heat caused fog on the camera lens. So I had to find a way where I could shoot it. Because of the lighting wasn't so good, I took this with a high iso. Causing noise as you all probably know. So I adjusted it with PS and neat image.

The title was based upon my own feeling to the photo. The bubble coming from the heat, the egg, the reflection on the egg's surface is the world. Somehow the world to me are like an egg boiled. The world is going through some changing. We are all going through some changing. It is painful to get there. But once we get there, we can look back to when we tried to get there and smile. Just like an egg boiled...Hope that makes sense;)

Great story...as usual!
Very original and nicely composed!

The yellow part of the egg have a slight red:ich look and the corners are also a little dark but maybe it is just my monitor ;)

It's funny, I look at this image and I don't see an egg in boiling water. What I see is an oasis of calmness in a sea riddled with the turbulence of uncertainty, doubt and confusion. An oasis, of which, we as human beings strive to discover throughout our lives. An alluring place of tranquility where we feel safe and protected from the callousness of the world; a place that resides in our hearts; a place that makes us who we are.

This is an inspirational capture Fretty. I really like it.

When I look at this egg, I'm faced with all the decisions such a simple act puts on me. Such as....hard or soft boiled...or perhaps color it a pretty color for Easter, and if coloring is the choice, what color? Perhaps hand painted would be better. The mind boggles at the endless possibilies of something as simple as boiling an egg................

hmmm.... is that a hair i see on the egg?
would this fall under the category of animal cruelty?

Princess, I'm not sure what to say about this. It did make me laugh since it is a wierd and happy shot but there is an element about it that I don't like, very hard to explain....Anyways, it is a very though provocative work which is a good thing

@ Johannes: You are a vegetarian if I remember right?!
Maybe that is the reason for the pain when you see the egg boiling... ;)

A common daily subject transformed into a wonderful picture!!!
Love the colors and the details.....It also has an abstract feeling if you forget what it is.....
Nice touch the reflection of the window on the yellow part!!
Just don't eat too many of those....2 a week are more than enough!!
Love you!!!

It almost looks like mist or fog surrounding the egg. Great contrasts. Nice work (thumbup)

I like the effect of the slow shutter speed on the egg whites. This gives the photo an almost abstract quality.

I like it!

wonderful world! I like motive with egg. egg white is wonderfull, many bubbles are cool light blur shading. Very profi. photo +my max.

Well, I can't comment on the philosophy of the image. Other than, it makes me hungry, since I can't eat eggs, and I miss them.

Anyway the photo is delightful. I like the effect of the boiling water. I tried a boiling picture too, but it was not as nearly interesting as this.

My only crit is that I find the defined highlight of the egg a bit distracting. Kinda destroys the mystique and gives away too much. Like catching a glimpse of that guy behind the curtain in the Wizard of Oz.
