Inversion

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!

I don't see what the illusion is supposed to be. I'm afraid this isn't very interesting. I mean ya look at it for a second and you're ready to move on. Is it a real animal or a stuffed one? Try different angles maybe to find one that works?

I guess I don't get what the illusion is supposed to be. This shot looks like it is supposed to be centered, but isn't. It's also very flat. Some side lighting would at least have brought some depth to the frame. I'm afraid it just ain't very interesting...

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...

Awesome scene, awesome DOF. Your a little slanted on your horizon though. This is an easy fix in Photoshop. If you need help straightening a shot, PM me after the challenge and I'll tell ya how. Your colors seem a little flat too. Maybe a little tweaking of the levels would hellp bring out the tones in the rocks. As far as the challenge goes though, this doesn't really look like an illusion to me...

This is a litle too abstract for my taste. I'm not sure what I'm looking at or what you're trying to achieve with it. Your focus seems off, but that may be what you were trying to do...

I don't personally care for abstract shots like this one, but I do like the nice warm tones and simple tonality of this. Nice DOF.

Illusion of Balance

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.
