Illusion of Balance

Comment:
First Impression: Sorry, if this sounds harsh, but I don't like the (sloppy) selection ad blur. Pretty Model :)
Was I fooled? No, I think a teensy bit of motion blur on the toy would have helped.

Lighting Up The Sun
by JunieMoon

Comment:
First Impression: The very bright yellow hurts my eyes a bit. Very noisy and not too clear.
Was I fooled? Not sure what I am looking at here. I gather from your title that the center revolvy thingy is the sun, and the flame is to ignite it? Not sure man.

Was I fooled? No, but that was not the idea ( I gather from your including the answer in the top right corner).

Finger extension

Comment:
First Impression: Nice clear representation of the idea. The white on the nails are a bit heavy, even for the pure black background.
Was I fooled? This one still kills my 3yold daughter. Classic!

Multiplicity

Comment:

Linen Page with Three Cuts

First Impression: Nice clear representation, but I see a swastika, so therefore you must be a Nazi and I vote this a 1! Sorry, Bad joke !
Was I fooled? Yes.
Nice one 8

the magic carpet
by U622

Comment:
First Impression: Strong composition, but the up the nose angle hurts it a bit. The model being more colourfull than the carpet feels a bit wrong too.
Was I fooled? I love the idea. 2 things trip it up imho. The busy static tree background (maybe som e motion blur?) and the bottom corner of the carpet being missing.
Still nice idea though.

Walking in your Footsteps

Comment:
First Impression: Nice colours and use of clouds. Center composition works for me here.
Was I fooleded? I think the illusion idea was for a 'small' person? no? Not clear. Tip, for better footprints, use very early or very late time of day, and try with wet sand.

Was I fooleded? YES! The first one that makes me scratch my head in my randomised list. Congratulations!
