Description
Humorous color photograph of two decorative birds sitting on an egg carton, looking perplexed at what they see: In the container of a dozen brown eggs sits one lone white egg. One of the birds, presumed to be the male because of his size, is looking to the other bird for answers. She appears perplexed, as if wondering what in the world might have happened, and when.
There’s a story here, and someone knows the truth of how one white egg got into a carton of newly purchased brown eggs. Apparently the birds don’t know, and neither do I.
If you would like to see a similar image without the birds, you will find it in this Gallery, or Collection. I titled it “A Dozen Good Eggs.” Both are concept and character-building images, whereas this one--at least to me--is just plain funny.
No eggs were touched or rearranged in the shooting of this humorous food and lifestyle macro still-life photograph. I simply opened a new carton, and this is what I found. I added the birds as an afterthought, and love their expressions. This unique image is sure to bring a smile. Cropped to the equivalent of a 5x7 to fit the greeting card format. Ideal as a wall print, especially in the kitchen of your home or office.
