Three Glasses of colourby kiwinickComment: I don't get what the illusion is supposed to be... Your background looks very muddied. I think you could fix that by selecting it and boosting the highlight levels, in effect blowing it out. It's also a little noisy in the background. Neat image would help that out. Overall, I don't find a lot of wow factor in this shot...

The Amazing Woodies!by CEJComment: LOL.... That's what my ol' lady says first thing in the morning! :-P This is one of the best 'woodie' shot's I've seen in a while. It looks a little dull though like it could use a boost in lighting (which may spoil the illusion... You hung the woodie up with string?) or levels.

Where Does Reality End?by OdysseyF22Comment: At the surface of the mirror? I see some potential for this shot, but your focus seems to be off. My eye wanders around the shot looking for the focal point and can not find it. It's also a little distracting to have pieces cropped of at the edges. The lighting is also unimaginative making everything flat. Moving the lights around may have helped bring out the depth in this.

plays itselfby graphicfunkComment: GREAT ILLUSION! I like this one and thought about doing something like it! The addition of the cords pins and knots makes the shot! Without it, it wouldn't be the same. The only thing I would change is the lighting. I know that you had to light it to make the arms dissappear, but this looks a touch flat. Is that a pick on the right hand thumb or a band aid? I'm assuming it's a pick as you put a lot of work into the detals.
Kudos

Wow ... That's Pretty Close!by LadeeMComment: 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.

Inversionby jab119Comment: 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!

Floating In Airby GolferDDSComment: 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.

P o i s e dby ergoComment: 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 Balanceby JeremyFleuryComment: 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.
