About	I love sunrises and I also love eggs for breakfast, sunny-side up. I thought I would combine some of the things I like to remind me of the great breakfast I had last weekend while watching the ocean out the window. The beach was covered with patches of snow. Blue filter, curves adjusted, edge sharpening applied. The egg image was taken from the Ulead PhotoImpact 12 image library.

I make a pretty decent omelette, too.

Bek -- Eggads! I am shell-shocked by your egg yokes.
I like them so much, I will paste them in my white photo albumen. They all panned out well but my brain is fried from laughing so much.
Thanks!!!

Jan The Man Silly Hoffman, what an eggsentric image!
This looks like a fight in a diner at breakfast time...someone slinging the egg across the room to land eggsactly on the lovely beach scene hung on the wall.
How clever of you to hatch this idea, very original.
You should print up a few of these and get people to shell out big for the priveledge to hang one on their wall at home. You would be carton in the money....must stop now, am cracking up!!
cheers, Bek

I appreciate your comment. I was tempted to re-post with an Easter Egg but just could not bring myself to do it.
--Best to you, Jan

Jan Hoffman {K:39467} 4/2/2007

Joe -- have a great breakfast and think of this picture. Nothing sunnier than those white and yellow puppies staring up at you from the plate!
--Jan

Joe Brown {K:23213} 4/2/2007

Great imagination Jan. It's a fun image. Now, sunny side up will have a different meaning for me and this image will always come to mind. Thanks, I think. :) :)

I feel so hungry that I can not appreciate the beauty of a sunrise :). I love sunny side ups!

(30 mins later)

Well, now that I ate, I feel this is a wonderful sunrise, and very well done dear Jan.

Regards,
Bhabesh

Sorry buddy, but this is just digital crap. You have wasted a great sea scene with what, a bloody egg! Eh! This looks like a few beers too many photograph.

Jan Hoffman {K:39467} 3/22/2007

Meg -- My skills at tossing eggs are very limited and thanks for the comment. Over easy is not my egg style, however. No yoke!
--Jan

Meg Metcalfe {K:6114} 3/22/2007

And there was I thinking that the horizon was tilted because you were having a change and tossing the egg for an easy over.
Nice work Jan...

Jan Hoffman {K:39467} 3/22/2007

Thanks, Nessa. No yoke: this one was fun to do.
--Jan

LoL! You're right about that Jan!! :)

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

Jan Hoffman {K:39467} 3/19/2007

You the man, Doyle!
Even I could not read all of these comments without becoming overly eggi-tated.
Sorry about touching a nerve on the horizon but I just could not help myself; I had to tilt it. It was so straight as taken that it was driving me nuts.
As for the borrowed egg, at least I acknowledged it!!!!!!!!
Thanks for your great comments.
--Regards, Jan

Doyle D. Chastain

{K:101119} 3/19/2007

Whew! That's it! I can't believe I did it but I did. Yes, I read EACH and EVERY word of EVERY comment. That's a lot more 'PUN'ishment than any sane person could be expected to endure! Fortunately, I see comments from photographers but none from sane people!

A fun image for St. Patty's Day . . . and shame on you for a borrowed egg when you freely admit that you love eggs sunnyside up for breakfast . . . you egg-i-cidal maniac! At the very least . . . you could have immortalized and utilized one of them before they were 'internalized'!

I'll not re-mention the horizon . . . but I AM telling my therapist that you tilted it to goad me as you know it to be a pet peeve . . . one of the few pets I have that cannot fly! Perhaps MY therapist can contact YOUR therapist . . . I don't know what they'd say to each other . . . probably just have lunch, double bill each of us, print out our photos and hang them up at home. LoL!

UF wouldn't be the same without you Jan . . . Keep it up my friend . . . :)

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

Leonie Fitzpatrick {K:40551} 3/18/2007

Totally agree Jan ~~GRIN~~ I honestly didn't notice the tilt... LOL... Never even looked for it... It was your image as a whole that tickled my palette... For me, to get it right doesn't always mean it has to be *right*... :)

~~GRIN~~... If there were no play, experimention and different perspectives, we'd be bored silly... and the world would be a much duller place because of it... :)

Thank heavens for the *sunny-side up sunrises* in the world... :)))

Onie...

Ok, pull over, mac. You're under arrest for Hit-and-Pun.

Jan Hoffman {K:39467} 3/18/2007

Paul-- Eggsactly, your eggcellence. Om-letting you get away with the pun.
With egg on my face, Jan

Jan Hoffman {K:39467} 3/18/2007

Paul -- Thanks for commenting. Different ocean, different weather. I like your beaches much better than the ones we have in the winter. In the summer and fall however, these are hot & fun places to be and to enjoy the surf.
--Best to you, Jan

Jan Hoffman {K:39467} 3/18/2007

Annemette -- Thanks so much for looking at my weird picture. :)
--Best to you, Jan

Paul Lara

{K:88111} 3/18/2007

While it's good, I cannot say it's eggcelent. ;)

Paul Lara

{K:88111} 3/18/2007

Sorry, Jan, but in my lexicon, "beaches" and "snow" don't really belong in the same sentence. As a true-blue SoCal beach bum, that's just not right.

This is a cool composite, and nice turn of a phrase.

Annemette Rosenborg Eriksen {K:55244} 3/18/2007

Such an amusing photo and idea, Jan:-)) I like humour and joy reflected in photos. Great contrast between the eggy sun and the sky:-)
Best wishes
Annemette

Jan ... I do love your sense of humor :) !!!
What can I do ?! :)
You are irresistible dear friend :) !!!
All the best :)

Jan Hoffman {K:39467} 3/18/2007

Thanks, Mel. I first finished up "on the level" but it did not look right. No yoke, I changed the horizon to improve it. I do like the sliding egg idea though and that makes sense to me. Maybe that is what my inner thoughts were egging me on to do.
--Best to you, Jan

Jan Hoffman {K:39467} 3/18/2007

Onie -- "Omletting" you know the truth, no yoke. I felt it looked better when I scrambled the horizon.
--Best to you, Jan

Jan Hoffman {K:39467} 3/18/2007

Srna -- You are always welcome. I am happy that an egg and sunrise inspires you. :)
--Best to you, Jan

Jan Hoffman {K:39467} 3/18/2007

Thanks for egging me on, Roger.
--Best to you, Jan

Ms. Mel Brackstone {K:5285} 3/18/2007

A lovely shot, making me hungry! I did wonder if you'd left it off level so that you could (as Onie suggested) slide it off the photo onto your plate. :)

Srna Stankovic

{K:172232} 3/18/2007

Thank you dear Jan for making my days so very inspiring and enjoyable :) !!!
Great idea and realisation :)
Srna

Leonie Fitzpatrick {K:40551} 3/18/2007

~~GRIN~~ Jan... I did notice the horizon tilt, but gathered it was you sliding that egg on to your breakfast plate... ;)))

Onie... I speak with forked tongue...
