All ya need is a little smoke and ya got it! Only thing I don't like is all the little reflections. It clutters the shot and takes away from the simplicity of the candles!

The Illusion od a Summer shower

You're probably not gonna like this comment, however I feel compelled, when commenting, to say it the way I see it. IMHO you have violated the spirit of the DPC community. This is not the Digital Graphics Art Challenge site, it's Digital Photography Challenge sSite. I believe that this would be a simple snapshot without the major element of the frame that you added. I also believe that you have not honored the spirit of the challenge which is to PHOTOGRAPH an illusion. This illusion is totally created in post processing. In other words, you attempted to take a rather boring shot and create something out of it. Putting that aside for a moment, your frame within the frame appears to be rather forced and awkward. It doesn't lift the shot, it distracts. Given all of this, I'm afraid that I can not give you a very high score. In another forum, it may have done well...

A Delicate Balance

These are the types of shots that I like to comment on the most. The ones where I see the most potential! This shot is very original! I really hope ya show the set up behind (or should I say above) it! unfortunately you picked maybe the worst time of day to shoot it. Your lighting is kinda harsh and coming from the angle that it is it doesn't pull out the textural details in the flowers as they are arranged. I'm also put off by most of the feet being in shadow. Depending on the orientation here, If shot early in the morning or later at night this could be a top ten shot!

Oh and could ya move around a little so that the background was move even? The dark fence top right kinda draws your eye away from the subject...

OK... I'll give ya the illusion points, but it's not really that interesting. A few seconds glance and you've seen all there is, a truck coming over the hill...

Incredible lighting though a touch of reflected fill under her hand would have been a bonus. Great expression in your model! The catch light in her eyes looks a little off though with the lighting of the rest of the shot. Just a little too bright. My only REAL complaint though is the ball doesn't look round. It is a ball right? I don't know if you got jpeg jaggies goin' on or if it's in the way you suspended the ball. However overall I find my eye going to the girl and not the ball so it's not really much of an issue! Kudos

The Magician's Illusion

This shot is simply incredible. You have some of the best lighitng I've seen in a challenge entry for a portrait type shot in AGES! Your focus is maybe a touch off, but it works just fine IMHO! Love the tone that you gave it. Hope this does well in the standings! (oops I just jinxed you.)

Hey, did ya try adding just a touch of grain? Might give it even more of a mystical feeling or then again might just ruin it...

The Illusion Of Gambling

Can't wait to see how this was set up. I'm assuming a poster in the background and a wire holding everything together... Maybe wrong though. You appear to be overexposed slightly though which tends to wash out what would otherwise be very vivid colors.

Great shot. Even like the square crop which often doesn't work that well. Ya got decent lighting on the dog. Love the way the muscles in his shoulders are accentuated. However, I'm not sure how it fit's the challenge as I saw it...
