Comment by jmsetzler:
It took me a while to figure this one out.. lol... I can finally see the crayons that are printed and the six that are real... real: jungle green, egg blue, radical red, green/yellow, white, orchid ? excellent illusion... now.. the lightin could have really punched harder on this photo... do you have white balance settings? After creating such a great illusion, I would have spent some time working on the lighting to whiten up the background and make these color jump hard :) - setzler

Comment by marbo:
i count 16 in total, but only 6 in focus. Is that the illusion?

Um... 16? I have a feeling that you did some sort of trick here somewhere, but I honestly don't know what the illusion might be...? - alansfreed

This is such a clever illusion that we cannot figure it out. 8 JEM

Comment by waltoml:
Very nice. I like how you used your thumb twice. The color seems to be a bit red (on the right thumb). Focus looks good. Great work on the shadows. Makes it really hard to tell which are "live" and which are "memorex". Lighting is very good. 9 waltoml...

Comment by greenem2:
Let me guess, the thumb on the left is real along with 6 crayons, while the thumb on the right and the other crayons are a picture. Very clever, almost fooled me.

Not sure of the illusion here. The lighting seems a bit drab... maybe mess with the color levels some? I don't know. bamaster (6)
