    Cheers, Richard.

    Very creative, Jiro. I don't know how you would have done it, but I'd like to see the side light effect eliminated on the " chosen " one. Nevertheless, it's a dramatic shot that's well conceived and executed.clap.gifclap

    Take care,

    Tom

    You gave me a new idea to work on, Tom. Thank you very much on the suggestion. :D

    I agree with Tom on the lighting...the top light should be stronger to override the shadow of the left light source. I also agree with Tom that it's a great idea and I'm looking forward to seeing the next iteration. clap.gif

    headscratch.gif Did you reshoot or just muck with it in PS? The shadow at the bottom of the chosen looks unnaturally hard-edged to me. But I like the rest. Dunno.

    I like the new version. The " chosen " is much better rendered. This is a terrific image, Jiro. You did good, brother. thumb.gif

    Yup, I had to reshoot this morning. My egg actor got angry for being waken up early. Laughing.gif! I used a stronger LED flashlight to do the job on the lighting that's why the shadow is more defined. Then masking and layering inside photoshop for the finishing touch.

    Thanks, brother Tom. :D The "chosen" egg and the 4 gossip girls were returned to the ref ready for their next photo shoot. I'm thinking what would be my next theme. Hmmnnnn... mwink.gif
