I've always loved galvinized steel and have been a collector for years.  But it was not my first choice for a background when I decided to photograph a still life of araucana and browm eggs.  I originally posted the image on IG (kc kratt) in color, but I decided to post it here as a black and white.  There is an incredible tactile quality in this treatment which emphasizes the texture and sparkle of the galvinized as well as the luminous sheen of the eggs.
