I was taken by this in passing in General. I liked the egg balanced on the fork tines and thought "that would actually be remarkably stable". Opening the picture and blowing up the result made some distractions visible. I'm mentioning them here only because of your request for critique. The uniqueness of the photo is excellent in and of itself.

a) There are "use" scratches on the forks. No big deal but when viewing this larger, they are notable and slightly distracting.

b) The knives are serrated. While well placed to point up the egg, they are not visually continual (e.g. all serrations same direction). Thus they are not a visual spiral leading to the egg, nor an editorial commentary. I would have preferred smooth edge so the external rounding pattern (top of knife to top of knife on top and bottom) isn't interrupted in the pointing to the egg. The serrations could be used like this in a spiral notion if they all went the same way.

c) The "stainless" printing on the forks is a distraction in a larger view context. Should you follow up, buff them or post edit them out.

If I was making a commercial for "The Incredible Edible Egg", I would have this photo, as is, around a table top and the knife/forks stabilized on some fine bone china. Further away the distractions mentioned above fade.

Very nice work.
