Awesome scene, awesome DOF. Your a little slanted on your horizon though. This is an easy fix in Photoshop. If you need help straightening a shot, PM me after the challenge and I'll tell ya how. Your colors seem a little flat too. Maybe a little tweaking of the levels would hellp bring out the tones in the rocks. As far as the challenge goes though, this doesn't really look like an illusion to me...

When shooting something with a very clear horison, allways make sure it is perfectly horisontal. Nice landscape and reflections, But I do not really see the illusion. I think for reflections to be the illusion, you should not be able to differentiate brtween real and reflected. IMHO.
BEAUTIFUL landscape shot. The water couldn't be more perfect and glass-like. The color and light is wonderful. Perhaps cropped a little too tight at the top maybe but no biggy. Very peaceful picture. 10
Beautiful serene scenery, you are one of the lucky few to view to witness this..nice dof although you might have made this more special with a little stronger color..
