A very alive image. Love the hair and the facial expression.

Very cute shot! Your illusion don't quite work though with the green 'sky'. Your skin tones look a tad bit off. It also looks like you used the flash. If you used the flash to get a twinkle in her eye, maybe try putting toilet paper or something else thin over the flash to cut it down a touch.

To bad ther is grass behind her. A blue sky would have sold it. Nice shot

To me, looks like the subject was upside down, and the image was simply flipped 180 degrees...good execution though....6

I like the symmetry with the hair.

fun image! I assume the blood rushed to her head after too many takes?

Should have knocked off the background for this one to be believeable.

Very cute. Nice highlights in the hair and the light reflection on face isn't too harsh. Good job

isn't gravity a wonderfull thing, we all know its there at yet this simple illusion still surprises us.
I like the idea.

the tree line in background gives away the 180 degree rotation

I like it, the hair all standing up, either you used some really good gel, or there hanging upside down, ha lol, great shot, love the boka inthe background

It's a nice photo, but gravity does its job. Maybe a hair job?

Bumping up to 6 for this image. It's just a fun shot and it shows in her expression :)

Kind of weak on the illusion because it is so easy to figure out. Beautiful child. I love the eyes...they look mischevious.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Haha! She looks like a very cute little troll. Cute illusion... too bad you couldn't make the background suit so it'd really look like she was right-side up!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/08/2005 06:10:29 PM
cute - needed blue behind her head instead of green for the full effect ;)

Neat shot and a cute model. She looks happy and playful. Good color and choice of background.

Oh, so funny and what a lovely face.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/08/2005 03:16:24 PM
adorable model and a good idea, like how a few of her bangs stayed put!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

cute shot, cropping the hair isn't so good, but my guess is it had to be done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

First Impression: This feels like fun! The model's smile is addictive!
Was I fooled? Almost. A less informative background would have helped.

Great color, good expresssion, lighting is good.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Would of been spot on if her shoulders were sitting (or hanging) straight and the top of the hair was there! Good effort!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/08/2005 06:03:23 AM
I wish you had a different background on this...would make the illusion more real.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/08/2005 03:51:29 AM
Great job! What a cute photo!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The old upside down illusion, this is a great example of it with a beautiful subject to help the image stand out. Maybe if she could have smiled more it would have come off better.
