Egg

We have an old chair behind our house that I knew I wanted a closeup of. It's got this blue and yellow sunflower pattern that has almost completely faded in the actual sun, and it's been nicely weathered and thus acquired some interesting textures and details. In this shot, the seat looks very rough while the egg is very soft, with a soft shadow that shows its slight texture. The flowers look like bursts from elliptical centers, and the scratches around the egg suggest motion lines as if it were about to crack and break, so the whole context is subtly suggesting breaking, putting in in conflict with the solidly whole shape of the egg itself. I also tried "nesting" the egg in some plastic bags but their blue color tinted the light in a really unpleasant way.
