Nice shot - I was hoping to get some of the full moon myself tonight, but alas, we are finally getting rain. Has been a drought all summer so I can't complain.

Technical: Lighting needs correction as there is a distractive glare along the top of the glass and chrome ring. The angle of the lighting leaves an undesirable shadow along the left side of the scale. Background choice is not one I would have recommended. Rather a solid white, or off-white would have done better I think. To add interest, the iPod could have been turned on so that the screen had something other than a blank face. Also would have kept the ear phone cord off the face of the scale. Exposure controls and white balance seemed right on.

Composition: well executed - good example of the rule of thirds.

A beautiful illusion image! . Suggestions: straighten the horizon, and try adjusting the white bird a little. The bird is too bright. If you use PS, you can select just the bird, then selective color - choose white from drop down, and add 10% to black. Just a suggestion. Otherwise I love the colors. Not much else I could suggest as this was executed so well.

Focus seems a bit soft, alnmost blurry on face of girl. Seems to have focused on the hand and item being tossed in the air.
Good use of shutter speed to give the illusion of the item floating or stopped in mid-air. Lighting done nicely too in my opinion - really accentuates the gaze in the girls eyes.

Technical: Focus seems a bit soft on the edges of glass sphere and on wood holder. Very good bokeh. Nice color saturation.

Composition: Glass ball seems too far away, and would be better a little more off centered. Poosibly rotating image slightly ccw would make this more interesting. Due to the sphere being so far away, it is hard to see a clear image inside the glass. Seems a bit busy in the glass ball. Try waiting until not so many people are present, and have a more interesting subject in their place.

Meeting the Challenge: I feel you did this well as it presents the viewer with an optical illusion.

The first thing that stikes me is too juch dead space, particularly along the bottom third of the image.
The second thing is the 'double-exposure effect' - just looks off balanced. The I realized why....the hand is more visible than the upside down head, so at first you notice the hand which would not be in the ocrrect anatomiacal presentation to be shooting a camer. After really searching the image, you notice the head under the camera..
The wrinkles in the shirt are a bit distracting also.
Colors are nice - bright blue on black. And the color of the cap is perfect as it does not over-power the face, but accentuates it. I like the lighting and shadows.
Over all, while this was nto a favorite shot of mine, it was very creative and executed fairly well.
