I've finally cracked.
I knew it was coming.
At ten o'clock pm,
I was in my yard, humming.
I was baring my yolk;
not to eat, no not me!
I dumped it on grass
For dear JPG!

* I put down a piece of glass on the grass, so the egg would stay whole. I kinda liked the effect:)

Oh such a grogeous presentation! You're gonna be okay Lynn! :-))
Carol Hansen-Dix said (28 Sep 2008):
This photo inspired in me the desire to experiment with different "depth of field" f-stop settings. I would want to keep the magnified grass effect still crisp and some of the grass focused at the outside of the egg white. Most of the grass would be OOF. This would make the point of focus (the egg and some grass) really stand out in the photo.
