Comment by soup:
i looked at this a number of times, and sort of waited for it to be validated.
it's a very unique shot, but the blurry areas around the shorts keep drawing my eye. being an illusion type shot, everyone is apt to look very close.

good luck - 8

I'm not sure what to say about this image. I like it, but it doesn't wow me. I admire the time and creativity that it took to create it and the compositional elements are well photographed but the post processing is uneven. You did a nice job masking out on the shoes gloves and headpiece where you have very crisp edges, but the trunks of both boxer you used feathered edges so it looks confusing to me. I think the scene is crowded in the frame too with the butts of both boxers edging to close to either side. A pretty good effort overall.

While I have absolutely no idea how you might have pulled this off, it is certainly a striking image and a top photo in this challenge. The concept is wonderful and very thought provoking. Great entry!

interesting idea and rather gr8 execution the only thing i would change if i was being pedantic is some of the shadows that have been cast.... aside from that there is the polarisation effect coming through on the image on the plain background and is somewhat bugging... the areas where you cloned out the image are the areas worst affected however that is easily changeable and that doesnt change the principle of the image whatsoever...
gr8 photo just a few areas of possible improvement though gr8 photo over all :)

Truly a great example of what can be done in editing. I also think that the concept is fablous. Toss in nearly perfect lighting, and my bet is that this is a very strong entry.
