Ok - I give. What did you do here? Is this for real or a post-processing trick? If it's for real...where was it for the Illusions challenge??? He-he.

What wonderful lines this image has! It grabbed me from the thumbnail...I had to see it. Great colors. Nice job of composition. If I could make a couple of suggestions. 1) I wish it was actually a bit darker in the foreground - it distracts from the rich colors everywhere else (particularly the gravel/sand I guess). 2) Have you looked at it with the left cropped a bit - to the point of removing the triangular object on the beach (this would also remove the hump in the bg skyline - don't know if that's good or bad).

Great catch!

I didn't see the first one, but I like this VERY much. Nice warm feel to it. If I could nitpick on any one thing it would be the border. On the left side of the image I had to look closer...didn't know at first what it was. Thought it might be another tree or something. Maybe a key color (1pixel), then black? That could be distracting too...nevermind. ;^)

Very nice composition. I like the way you used the space available - good DOF, and nice detail of the magnolia bud.

This is such a fun photo! Great capture. Wonder what it would look like in B/W?

It's a cool shot. I wish however, that the hand was in focus also. You had a pretty high shutter speed (1/1250) but the aperture was a bit shallow perhaps? Nice choice on the desat...

Very nice use of repeating patterns. If this spot is local to you it would be fun to see what impact lighting has here at different times of the day (dusk, dawn, etc...).

If this isn't a ribbon winner I'll be disappointed. Very well done (tastefully I might add). Her face grabs your attention...with the DOF as it is you want to wander, then you are pulled back. Only negative is the pupil of her eye seems unusually large and dark - like a reflection was cloned out...a soft catchlight would be good.
