Wow ... That's Pretty Close!

It's an interesting shot. I'm assuming you clued a picture to the mirror. My only question is why b/w and not color? I think in color this would be much better. B/W needs depth and tonality to make it work. With the shallow DOF you have here you need the color to make it more interesting. You also had total controll of the background. A different location for the car to begin with would also help.

Now this is quite cool! I love the composition! You're centered but it doesn't look centered. It's a little flat though. I think it's the lighting. What time of day was it shot? From the shadows it looks like it was just before or after mid day. Much later (or earlier depending on how this is oriented according to the sun) would give it more depth and warmer tones. Great find though!

One of the things I keep trying to do is figure out how the illusions were done... I think that this one is under water? Like a fish bowl? Good illusion! Your colors are nice and crisp and you are nice and sharp. Your background doesn't really look like sky though which is why I guess fishbowl with a sky background.

Hey I like this one. I'm not sure though why you took the color away. IMHO this shot just screams to be blue...

Illusion of Balance
by JeremyFleury

Comment:
Very cute model! Interesting choice of post procecssing. You used a mask and gaussian blur to blur out hte background I'm assuming. It gives the shot a sort of dreamy look. Personally I don't care for it myself. It looks like your sellection was a tad bit off around her right arm and just above the left arm. You lost the sharpness in the seperation between the sharp and the blur. Did you use the flash here? You have a bit of harsh shadow behind her head.

Very cute shot! Your illusion don't quite work though with the green 'sky'. Your skin tones look a tad bit off. It also looks like you used the flash. If you used the flash to get a twinkle in her eye, maybe try putting toilet paper or something else thin over the flash to cut it down a touch.

Knight Reflection

The boards gotta be see through and not reflective right? You have two pawns at either end on both sides of the board and the knight is only behind it? Great illusion!

This is by far the best perspective shot that I've seen in a very long time. The only thing that I would change is the background. If ya select it and use a levels or curves you can get rid of the wrinkles.

Before I voted, I realized that you probably fooled me twice. This isn't a perspective shot is it? You cut out the picture of the guy and propped it up in place didn't ya...

This is an awesome shot right down to the soft focus. You do have some color banding though from what I would guess was resizing. Did you make this bigger from a small crop? The only thing that I don't like is your uneven border. I think that this shot would stand alone much better without it...
