A Bunch of Good Eggs, created by Madster

A Bunch of Good Eggs
final rank: 6 out of 29 (final score: 55.7 %)
for contest: easter eggs

Made selections of the faces, changed the blending mode (usually just to
Luminosity), and erased the majority of the face with a low opacity eraser,
duplicating some sections not too visible (like the lips in the shade), and
setting the mode of the copy to Multipy.
Pretty easy, just tedious, since there were so many eggs (which is why they
are the "good" bunch - The rest are just "regular" eggs...
;)
