Hand and Egg - a mistake

But a happy mistake at that. I wanted it to be more diagonal in composition (this is self portraiture I guess, my own right hand holding the egg and the left pressing the shutter lever) and obviously not half chopped off.
Then I decided to print it as cyanotype and left it under the UV too long so I had to wash it longer so it would bleach back.

On the other hand, I like the subtle double image on the fingertips because of the 2second exposure. I also I like the way that I just leave it on tables or any other handy surface and on my way by it, out of the corner of my eye it looks more like a naked human form. i couldn't tell you what sort of position but my brain just makes me think that now when I glimpse it.

This was taken the same day as the memento mori photo - same empty duck egg.
