Rain, Rain Go Away...

This is the best one so far! I love the expression, the cropping, the colors! Very well done. The only minor distraction is the bottom right corner with the bright green area...not sure if a selective desaturation might have helped that. But it's so minor of a point! I wonder if it's a thai child perhaps ;)
I hope it ribbons. Perfect 10!

It's a nice photo! and the clouds are so rich in texture and contrast.
You did a good job with the dodging and burning to bring out details in the clouds. It might have added 'sparkle' to dodge a bit more of the sea surface on the right side, where the sun is shining...not sure if you were using midtones or highlights for the dodging? not sure if it really makes that much of a difference?
And I wonder how it would look if you darkened the mountains more (all while lighting up the ocean more as well...)
The post processing gives extra dimensions to your already nice photo! Well done!

I love the simplicity of nature and your photo does a wonderful job capturing that. The very gradual increase in lightness for the background is great and the composition works well! IMHO, the perspective on the middle flower works best in terms of angles and capturing the details of the flower parts... almost like fireworks!
Nice pic!

I'm sure you'll get a lot of comments...it IS original! I guess I'll continue with a straight face and say: Nice composition and execution of the illusion :)
I do wonder how it looks in B&W though. Nice pic!

Aloof, Aloft... great idea and it does make me wonder how you set it up (I guess it is that steep of a cliff face! now that I think about it, is there someone else hiden holding one of the legs of the chair :)
Anyhow, I wonder how it looks in black and white...somehow the 'generic' green foliage seems to take away from the magic of it all...
Very original and well done!

well executed shot and composition.
I really like the neutral couch and the bright left hand corner which gives the 'room' depth... I wonder how it would look if the figure wore a solid colored dress? The dress seems to be of a similar pattern as the pillow and might take a way just a tad from the contrast? but perhaps that was intended... In any case, well done and great lighting!

Great concept! The illusion works well here and the composition is good! I might have made the background more 'lofty' (sky and clouds...) though? But good set up and extra points for originality!

I just entered the comment but it didn't register on my voting page so here I go again :)

I really like the illusion and the execution of this shot! very original.
I like the desaturated foreground since it helps focus the eyes on the background figure. IMHO, (if it was a set up photo) I might have made the figure seemingly 'push up' against the leg to really make it seem like he's caught! The picture is also just a tad noisy? But these are both minor issues... Well done! 9

Well, you get extra points for originality!
Great idea but the background does take away from the main point of the photo. A neutral black background might have gone a long way to improve the focus of the image! But good job overall! the illusion works!

Very well executed shot! the illusion is perfect.
The image quality does seem a bit low as does the sharpness but nice neutral background and good composition!
