I saw a photograph a while ago I think it was called 'The Cradle' & new I would like to try & copy it, or at least try to. The attached are my attempts: Please C&C. Your comments will be greatly appreciated

I definitely like the B&W one better.

Very cool, Andy. Definitely prefer the first one, though

Quirky and deceptively simplistic looking. But as you replicated it, didn't you have to make a lot of technical decisions? I admire your ability to see what it takes to create this image. Good for you. One thing - the egg looks like it has a very very slight list to the right as you look at it? Or maybe my astigmatism is acting up?

Hi Marie,
The egg has a slight list you are right. This took a little over 2 hours to fiddle around with so I suppose I was at a list myself! Trial & error got to where I was last night. Now I have just about got it I will try to have another shoot later this week. A very good arts department at school where I work helped with some of the props but the rest was just playing around with some kit to see what I could do. Good fun but a little frustrating though.

Thanks Greg, I'm with you selecting the B&W image.

Great image Andy and very creative! I hope that egg was hard boiled otherwise one slip and you would have had an entirely different image

Hi Shane, thanks for your kind words. No the egg was not cooked but is was a bit miss shaped & the only one I had to use. Really i feel the image should have been done with a white egg.
