Perhaps a good concept, but there are too many flaws. The intense lens flare is very distracting and hides most of the phone, while the rest is overexposed and out of focus/blurred.

Beautiful, but I'm bothered by JPEG artifacting and lack of detail here. This file size could be 3 or 4 times bigger here. I like the square crop.

'8' - Met the Challenge (in my opinion). A breathtaking shot. Criticism; undecided if it is too dark, not sure. Whilst the rain is not 'tangible', in my opinion, it's evident in the distance and thus you have likely captured a unique shot of rain for this Challenge. Great 'wide' angle and I will be looking to learn what lens etc once the Challenge is over. Very nice colors. Perhaps, a cropping a little of the upper (bluer) part of the sky may have made it more dramatic but not sure on that. Good shot. edit:typo

A very interesting shot. It is so hard to tell what is up and what is down. Great capture and compositon! 10

Maybe a touch too bright for my taste. I need to put on my sunglasses. LOL

I don't like commenting on titles, but am always put off when I'm instructed what to do by the title. In an illusion challenge I'm going to look hard at the shots and don't need to be told to...

(Donning my sunglasses) if this were a bit less intense with the brightness and a bit more focused I would have scored it higher. Good idea to potray 2005 though.
