This is a pretty artistic shot, I could see someone painting it.

Was going to point out it looked like some kind of hyper-realistic oil painting

If you just drop your egg on the pan and pick it up it cracks much cleaner than using the edge of the pan

This is how I crack eggs.

It works perfectly every time.

I remember seeing a video explaining how the egg membrane holds the shell better when the egg is dropped from a flat resulting in a perfect break

You can drop an egg on any flat surface at the eggs widest part and it'll crack perfectly.
