Very cool photo. I'm eager to read how it was achieved. So creative. Bumping up after a second look.

This is a very cool illusion and my top pick. While I can comment further before challenge end, I do want to say a few more things. One is that the shadow on the bottom right does take away from the image just a bit, as does the apparent eye brow hairs. There is also a bit of noise. However, that is really nitpicking the image. Also, I'd like to say that even though this is a cool illusion, I prefer it be PP that is only used in challenges such as this, where masking and the like lend themselves together pretty much. I prefer to enter a photo less photoshopped, and not so extreme, keeping with traditional photography as best as possible. This is just my opinion, however, for fantasy, I can see this as appropriate. It showed lovely imagination brought to life, not unlike the photos we see today where babies are laying in the petal of flowers, which is a darling depiction. I wouldn't call this darling, but very "eye catching". I would be surprised if it didn't ribbon. Good luck!!

Clever! Maybe the whites of the eye could be a bit whiter maybe?

Nice sharp photo, but seems a little underexposed. I feel there should be some brighter areas to balance it out.

This photograph has good composition and the eye seems to blend in.
