 Image taken with a Nikon D1x with a 17-35mm f2.8D AFS lens.

The late fall sun is cast against a storm fence set-up to defend the beach against the winter weather that will soon be upon us, creating an illusion of prison bars. But, the dog has already escaped.

Protests have been received about too many dog shots in DP Challenges, so this one is "sans" dog. Captured while on a walk in the park, with the dogs.

A very nice photo, but either I don't get it or there is no illusion. Or is the dog supposed to be the illusion? Anymway, I like the lighting and the texture of the sand. -stephan

OK photo but no illusion.

Not an illusion so much as an artistic effect, and a great photo.

Very good photo! Invisible dog? I like how the tracks are in between the shadows. Sorry, but I do feel this is a tad weak for the challenge, but I'll go a 7 anyway. Swash

Nice take on the 'illusion' theme and technically sound. seasick - 7.

I looked for quite a while here and can't determine what the illusion is... - setzler

love the composition and strong lines here. (makes me think of those leashes with no dogs on them). very clever idea and good image!
