Eggsactly

Something I thought would be simple for the artist challenge but I was wrong. At least for me it was not because I struggled with the lighting Inspired by this one https://artblart.files.wordpress.com/2020/02/gm_32105401_2000x2000.jpg

I guess you would need a flashlight or cell phone to get that spotlight effect but I think you've successfully featured the egg close to what the photographer did. Well done!

[Leslie]

I like it but now I want to try a capture that inspiration photo

[amyK]

Nicely done

[Shutterbug]

Makes me want to try it. I can see that it isn’t as easy as one might think. I do like the minimalism.

[Diana]

I really like what you have done here Katy. I think Ann is right re a spotlight.

[Kathy A]

Wonderful light!

[Susan Wakely]

From doing egg’s recently I feel your frustration. My first thought was that your egg was in the spotlight but looking a little shy.

[Brian]

Wow! I like it.

[Lin]

Well done - I love the light and shadows

[Kathy]

Could be, like others said, that the light on the egg is too weak or too big. But it's a good likeness. I've been on the look out for a strong flashlight, but haven't found one yet.

[Diane]

I like the minimalism and the lighting. Well done!

[Phil Howcroft]

lovely shot Katy

[Laurie]

It looks like the glow is coming from within!! 😳😁

[Lana Hill]

Nice. I love the different levels of light.

@olivetreeann I did use a flashlight but had trouble positioning it and I think the battery was dying and so was my patience! thanks for the positive comment Ann
@lesip please do as I know yours will be so much better
@amyk so very kind of you to say Amy thanks
@shutterbug49 I would love to see your effort Debbie
@ludwigsdiana thank you Diana apparently the light I used wasn't the right kind
@kjarn that is so nice of you Kathy
@wakelys that's it! I am going with a SHY egg! Thanks Sue
@briaan I really appreciate that Brian
@linnypinny that is really very nice of you to say Lin thanks
@randystreat I struggled trying to position it just right and the battery was dying I think so all of that added up to a less than ideal set up. I am glad you think it is still a good likeness Kathy
@eudora that means a lot to me Diane thank you so much
@phil_howcroft That is so kind of you Phil
@luvmynynix I didn't notice that until you mentioned it but I agree
@scoobylou Oh, Lana I am so glad you do thanks!

When I first saw the photo I thought it was a semi-squished marshmallow! 🤷‍♀️ I agree with those who said a spotlight would likely be necessary to get the light as the original. I had to do a double check after reading the comment from @luvmynynix and she is right! 😊

[katy]

@marilyn I can see how you would think marshmallow. It didn’t turn out quite as I planned that was better than it might have been.

[Mary Siegle]

Katy, lighting is soooo hard for me to fathom, let alone duplicate. You’ve made a brave attempt. Thanks!

[katy]

@mcsiegle so kind of you to be so encouraging Mary
