Rendering for a design exercise my ex-G/F approached me with. She invented this motif as part of a fictitious HIV prevention campaign for her design class, but wasn't able to have it actually photographed this way. Either the condom wouldn't grip or the egg wouldn't remain upright… so to speak pretty much the same problems as in "the actual case" ;-)
I helped her out with this CG motif, using global illumination, raytraced area shadows and translucency. Eventually printed, it looked quite real, so she could even sell it as an actual photograph.
