hmmm- might his be boy Joey? Great lighting and nice crop. Perhaps a bit more DOF as the shoulder looks a tad too blurry

Technically this is a good shot. The bokeh is demonstrated very well. The colors are well balanced and natural looking. It does appear a little over-sharpened, and the lighting a bit harsh.
Composition is alright, but nothing that sets it apart from the average. Perhaps rotating the image 45 degrees ccw would make it more interesting.
As for meeting the challenge, there really was not much of an illusion here.

Nice shot - I was hoping to get some of the full moon myself tonight, but alas, we are finally getting rain. Has been a drought all summer so I can't complain.

Very creative. I like the image, depsite a few techincal problems. The building seems to be leaning backward too much - an angle correction is needed here. As for lighting, the lighting on the building is bright - no shadow from the leg lifted over it. It should have had some burn tool used on it to give it shadow. The person is a little too dark. needed more light here, especially on the boot.

Technical: Image looks blurry, beyond soft focus. LIghting looks to be coming from the left as a deep shadow rakes across the bridge of the nose. The image itself looks a bit flat. Might have tried a little selective desat, leaving the eyes their true color. Would have given it a nice pop.

Composition: Feels too tight - but to keep focus on the hearts in the eys I'm sure you needed to keep it close.

Creativity; I like the creativity here. The message is sent with the title however - without it the meaning might be lost.

Technical: Lighting needs correction as there is a distractive glare along the top of the glass and chrome ring. The angle of the lighting leaves an undesirable shadow along the left side of the scale. Background choice is not one I would have recommended. Rather a solid white, or off-white would have done better I think. To add interest, the iPod could have been turned on so that the screen had something other than a blank face. Also would have kept the ear phone cord off the face of the scale. Exposure controls and white balance seemed right on.

Composition: well executed - good example of the rule of thirds.

A beautiful illusion image! . Suggestions: straighten the horizon, and try adjusting the white bird a little. The bird is too bright. If you use PS, you can select just the bird, then selective color - choose white from drop down, and add 10% to black. Just a suggestion. Otherwise I love the colors. Not much else I could suggest as this was executed so well.
