Great illusion! Not entirely sure how you pulled it off, but I have my theories. Good idea, good shot: 9

it just shows you what a 90 degree rotation can do to the mind.
I like the idea. I wish the shot were a little cleaner.
I think some automatic washing powder is required to get this white whiters and the colours strong.

nicely executed to make them look suspended in air

Neat illusion.

I don't get the illusion? From the image itself, there really isn't any visual interest for me but then again that's just my opinion.

Nice one! Very Strong composition too. Nice contrast, just enough. I like it a lot and I hope it does very well.

When you have a studio type set up shot such as this, it's the little details that make or break the shot. In this instance you have what appears to be a dirty die at the two o'clock position. It may not be dirty, it could simply be imperfections in the die itself. However that is enough to be a tad bit put offish. Just out of curiousity, why did you choose a b/w treatment for this?

nice image! I especially like the use of the black and white dice

Nicely done illusion. Good composition. Technically, the picture, I think could use a contrast boost and I feel that the dice (especially the 3's on top) could have been cleaned before being shot...or at least cleaned up in post-processing.

must have been tricky to capture without your own reflection - good shoot.

Nice sharp image which shows a great illusion but perhaps if you used new or cleaner dice it would have looked better.

This is well done. My only critique would be that the dirt on the top right die makes it too quicly apparent that these are sitting on a mirror. If that one was clean, I would have a looked a lot longer trying to figure out the illusion.
