Steps of the faithful

The bit at the top needs to go. Focus goes a bit soft at the bottom. I'd prefer to have the footprints as an interesting foreground to the church that (presumably) is the destination.

How cool it would have been to get the lights to be in her eyes. The railings are a problem, but then theres not much you can do about that.

Perhaps if you had some sort of motion trace it would make it look a bit more like the hand had moved and turned the coin into a card.

illusion?

Brilliant statement, and a great way to say it too. I'd have framed it lower, with the text on the lower door, then youd have the words framed a bit better.

Great fun, great expression on the model. My missus always looks dead miserable when I want her to pose. The focus is a bit to sharp on the fish, and the light on the lady a bit too hot on the left of the picture.

tomato flower

Good idea, but the photography needs work.
You could have done few more tomatoes, and done a good flower shot in a vase, or on the grass, rather than in this rather ugly bush.

I had a look at doing camoflage and deception in spiders this week, but a frost has sent all the wolf spiders to bed for the year.

When photographing things like this you need: A tripod, a bright windless day, reflectors and a shade. Set up the tripod,camera in macro mode a few centimeters from the subject. Set up as small an aperture as possible (I go down to about 1/8 sec if I can get away with it, 1/60 sec if theres a breeze). Shade the spider, as they are very hairy and direct light causes the hairs to show up as bright white. Use the reflectors to get a bit of light onto it. Try not to disturb it, as it'll run away into a corner and take a while to come out again.

One is real, the rest are photos. Which is it?

None? Its a bit of a pointless illusion, cos when you photograph it, all are photos.

Took me ages to spot. Im not sure the denument was worth all that staring. I really didnt get any sense of unease that a good illusion should have. Perhaps bunching the real crayons in the center, or having some other clue would have helped.

Lady in white... my magic shut!

This needs an element of hyper-reality to really get it going. Need to get the photo really sharp (use a smaller aperture) and sweep up the salt from places it shouldnt be. Perhaps some artful skatering as if hitting an object too.
