1 shy of half

For week no 21 - " Five: We all know about the rule of odds. Take a photo with only 5 of something."
I prefer odds than evens

@sugarmuser Me too, getting these eggs to stay in line was a challenge.

Excellent lighting

I like the mottled tones of the surface of the eggs and the play of shadows but I think I find having five is distracting. My eye wants to focus on each one individually but keeps getting pulled away by the next one. Maybe that is the idea, to make the eye move across the page, but I don’t enjoy it.

Moody lighting... interesting results.

Nice diagonal of dimly lit eggs

Nice low key. Nice on black. I like the diagonal too.

@gardencat I see your point. I think that we look for continuity in design and with the varying light and shadows it can be un-settling on the eye.

@jernst1779 @k9photo @kvphoto @marlboromaam Thank you so very much. I think trying wrangle eggs on sheet of plexiglass was an exercise in frustration. I got them to sorta stay put but next time I think that a piece of clay under each one would help my piece of mind, not my sanity which is already questionable :-)

It is interesting how odd numbers are typically so much more appealing--nicely done!

Love the shadows and texture

@aikiuser @eudora Thank you so very much. I liked trying to use an odd number of something. I don't usually go much beyond 3.
