 Took a shot of my wife's torso with her hand reaching out, then made that the desktop image on the laptop and had her hold it as we tried to line up her chin and earrings and keep her upper arms out of the shot.

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!

the position of the display and thus cutting the chin is not my choice
but the idea and presentation is not soo bad

Great concept, brilliantly executed. Could just be a shade sharper, though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/11/2005 02:06:51 AM
A very good take on the challenge but I think the face is a little offset to the screen, I'm probably been picky but this is good, bumping up.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Would have been better if her head was lower and in the laptop.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/10/2005 12:47:54 PM
Cleverly done, well lined up and good that the top is visible below the laptop.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/09/2005 08:52:57 PM
Good Idea, well though out, structured and composed. The lighting for me is rather harsh, flattening the image a little. Play around with this a little and you have a great shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/09/2005 04:04:44 PM
good idea, would have like to see more of face in screen

  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/08/2005 06:08:54 PM
Aha! Fantastic illusion, I love it. Well done :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/08/2005 05:42:02 PM
Nice work here. Noice level is a bit high for my taste but I do like the illusion. Made me look twice. :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.

  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/08/2005 05:10:23 PM
Cool effect....7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/08/2005 03:28:19 PM

  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/08/2005 03:20:53 PM
Nice....I'd like to know the process
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/08/2005 01:09:00 PM
well executed, but poorly shot. 6.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

First Impression: A bit cold and lots of coloured noise (not to be confused with arty farty grain)hehe.
Was I fooleded? YES! The first one that makes me scratch my head in my randomised list. Congratulations!

Love this photo! Great example of surrealism.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/08/2005 08:52:50 AM
you lined up the trick very well - the image on the laptop could use a pass through Neatimage.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/08/2005 08:52:30 AM
The idea is fantastic but to me the photo is a bit flat looking. Top marks for effort though!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/08/2005 08:39:26 AM
Well executed. Seems grainy though. 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/08/2005 08:05:15 AM
nicely done, but noisy! It's 3D enough to me! My guess is that a 6 is ok for this one
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/08/2005 07:56:00 AM
Nice Laptop! Own 2, This is a little grany, lighting is good, color is good.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/08/2005 06:50:28 AM
Great illusion and nicely set up. Lighting and focus are good, but the laptop is a little crooked and that bothers me a little...9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/08/2005 05:53:05 AM
Well done - very cool idea and well executed. The image is a little grainy, but otherwise great job!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/08/2005 04:49:07 AM
That's cool! Takes alot to set this up I bet!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/08/2005 02:32:49 AM
The illusion is excellent. The image is a bit soft adn the colour seems a bit on the blue side.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/07/2005 09:13:54 PM
It's been done, but this is a very good version.
