It took me a minute to see what the illusion was, but it really works! Just like the graphics I've seen on other websites, if you stare at the middle the outside seems to spin around, right? That unique idea, plus great exposure, focus, and composition, earned you a 10. Nice shot.

A 10. I will come back and tell you how many I have given. I gave 4 tens. I am amazed at how many people did the same thing, but this is the best execution.

Looka at that! This seems known to me! Now I'll have to decide whether yours or the one with the white background works better...
Edit: I found the other one. It's called just simply 'Toothpicks'. And the white background with the blue shadow is more appealing than a solid black. Thats why I gave one more point to that one. Hey, I give you a 7, after all.

Nice capture.... may seem too simple to some - and for others that is the appeal.

Looks like a flower --- but it's not --- I guess it qualifies.

Illusion of a spikey type flower? Great shot of toothpicks.Like the spiral effect and depth of color. Boy, it does a number on the eyes after a minute of staring. Great shot

There have been other toothpick shots, but this has great lighting and a nice organic feel.
