Two images using eggs as props. One representing a fragile earth, the other illustrating the cycle of life!
The Blue / green hand was lit by a softbox covered with a blue gel and a light behind with a green gel. The background lit with a bare bulb flash covered with an orange gel.
The hand / egg on the ground was a double exposure – one with and one without the hand / egg.

Saturday was fine and sunny – just the right conditions to go to Liverpool and complete a list of images I wanted to shoot with a nice sunset!
Never got to take all the images as the last mile of the journey to Pier Head was shrouded in thick freezing mist!
Waste not – want not!
