altered reality Shape of..

Very well realized idea... the baby position n shape are great. Just a minor point is the egg seems a bit small to contain this baby (although I understood that baby is already born...).... another version with broken or cracked egg ?!

A good point Jacques, and one that was actually considered for this composition. Perfectly matching the egg size to the baby just looked too symmetrical (too perfect). The egg also tended to dominated the left half of the image which I did not like.

A bit of eggism from the Williams camp. These two seem to have

something in common.

Love it! Although the egg looks a bit flat.

KE-E-E-E-E-N!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not again, Rick.... LOL:))

Nice work!

Finally, EGGGG! Smart idea, Rick. Nice tones. Cracked egg would be nice too.

Oh stop it ........ !!! .................... (-;

Great print and wonderful idea. The baby is right on, the egg seems a bit flat without dimension. You should try, just as an experiement, rotating the canvas, using a lighter background, and placing the child inside. Have the egg as a very transparent suggesion of an egg. That was a horrible sentence. Good shot...

I like this as it is. I think the cracked idea is cracked because a cracked egg would be so strong graphically that it would overpower the baby. In my opinion, this was the right place to stop.

stare at a large view long enough, you might (as I saw) come to view the egg's apparent suspension in space about 3' in front of the baby, which to me, would draw a much stronger relationship to the baby's facial expression - too bad the solid black background doesn't facilitate an observer to such a perspective.

 

Beautiful shot of a beautiful baby, Rick.
