This photo is taken with a shutter speed of 1/10, aperture of F4.8 and ISO 320. I chose this photograph because it places the white egg in high focus, whereas everything else in the background is blurred due to the small aperture. The shutter speed makes the egg to not be overexposed or the background to not be darkened. The cutting board the egg is sitting creates a contrast in texture with the egg. The cutting board divides the lower third of the photo from the upper two-thirds. I placed it as such to make viewers look towards the horizontal line there, where the egg and its shadow is also placed near. I feel like it was successful, but I would probably have a more contrasting background if I were to take this photo again. I feel like the top of the egg is not very distinct because the background is also very light in color.
