Beautiful image Chris. Love the colours and the fine detail in the outer shell.

Well done, Chris. The more I looked at the 'egg', the more detail there was to see.  Love the colours, too - the shades of blue/cyan stand out well against the red background.
Cheers,
V

Thanks Jason. I am relieved that came out. As I was taking the OIII I was wondering if I was getting enough of the detail.

Thanks Steve. The egg turned out well and in my full size uncompressed version it looks even better. And I agree with the colour - I almost pushed towards a darker blue, but think this contrasted better.
I might even look into getting this printed I think.

A stunning image. Only improvement I can see to an already outstanding image is more colour in the stars they look a bit monochromatic on my monitor.

I'm hoping that's the jpeg doing that. Looking at my original it seems ok and I think perhaps it does have better star colour. I process that separately through SPCC to get the calibrated colours.

There's a temptation to make a mosaic to include more of the backdrop but I think I'll keep that other area for its own image and focus.

That's a fabulous rendition of this object Chris. Great detail on the egg itself and nicely balanced surrounds.

Nice shell around the yoke, a cracking image, not ovum done with a unique palette too, you haven't poached that from anyone, one for the albumin.

Thanks Pete! It was a good fit for the focal length.

 Impressive, precisely boiled.
And I read it out to my wife who groaned appropriately.

Ok, ok, egg jokes aside, let's recoup and lay them to rest, good effort on this Gallus favourite

The OIII outer ring is hard to get fully - this is a fine rendition.

Thanks Mark.
I decided to get this one printed for the wall - the first to go up. Got a metal print, here's a crappy phone camera pic of the result: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...0226450.MP.jpg
