Great job on this reflection! I really like how you can see sidewalk as well as the building reflection but I'm not sure how I feel about the dried up area in the upper left. While I feel it dissrupts the illusion here, it also provides an anchoring point for a viewer to get his bearing. Also, I feel the colors can be saturated just a tiny bit more. Still well done.

Excellent ! Well done. I really like this illusion. Only thing I'm not crazy about is the corner line that intersects the ghost.

This is an unbelievably sexy picture. Love the coloring and toning. I guess the illusion here is not with the image, but with the statement you are making about the "requirements" of women working in an office setting(?). I think it could be a tad sharper, especially on the tips of the fingers. Still, very well done and high score given.

Focus on the eyes could be sharper, and a bit more light shining on the ball would enhance the image. I do like the low-key and composition.

His look is priceless. Composition is absolutely excellent ! and along with the low-key toning and high contrast with the card makes this a top notch image. Very well done and high score given.

I like the illusion, but wish the pillow had remained stationary. As it is, it's a bit dizzying to look at this picture.

"In the Faery Realm"

This is a very good illusion but I think it could have been carried out better. Firstly, the background (forest) is too bright, imo, and competes with your subjects. Secondly, it's very hard to see the "faery," and she appears oddly positioned over the young woman's wrist. Focus is off and it looks as though you've applied noise reduction a bit too aggresively, as on the large tree on the right, which I also find distracting just from it's presence.

My guess is that you metered off the white dress and increased exposure compensation to get the white dress white, which you nailed, but in the process, you overexposed the rest of the picture. I think this picture has a lot of potential that can be realized with better post processing.

I hope you found this helpful and I didn't mean to sound harsh. If I was, then please accept my apologies.

A little blur on the handle and left hand would suggest movement and add some believeability. Also, your background is very distracting becasue of the wrinkles and blown highlights. Fleshtones and wood appear dirty.
