Oh Kelly! What a beautiful picture! Somehow, I must not have finished all the voting because I missed this one during the challenge! This is an AMAZING shot!!!! Congratulations on such a great finish! VERY well deserved!
How did he through the child up in the air when he has no arms? :-P Cute shot bot it's kinda dark and you ahave some haloing and color banding issues. The haloing is probably form oversharpening. The color banding may be from how you resized the shot...

The pose of the child is awesome. It reminds me of the Morpheus vs. Neo kungfu scene from The Matrix. At first I didn't get the illusion, but after reading the title it's hard to see it any other way! This is one of the best images in the challenge (except for my own image, of course ;) )
Love the soft pastel pink and how it complements the darker portions of your image. Good stop motion to freeze movement and enhance the illusion. I do however, wish the outstretched arms of the man was more visible, which would require a different shooting angle. Good job.
I really like this photo!!! The set up, the pinkish/purple hue to the sky, the way the baby seems to hang weightless in the sky... 10 !!!
The only minor thing I might have changed (IMHO) would have been the bit of background at the bottom. I think that an even lower angle where the adult's feet are more even with the horizon might have increased the contrast of the entire body...but that's so minor! Wonderful photo!!! well done...hope you ribbon
I hope the kid is alwright:/
If I would do that i would do it in a water... The hands of the man could be littel more visual . Like littel infront of his face.
My only 10 for this challenge. The pinkish tone is right between warm and cold, composition is great. I know that you can throw a kid up that high (I've been there, up high) so it might not be a true illussion, but I don't care.
One word - Fantastic... I wouldn't change a thing... I bet the kid had a good time with this one... I really hope you were VERY CAREFUL while shooting this one though.
Geez, the Storks are getting too lazy to land and deliver! LOL
This is a very compelling image! Might draw some gasps and comparisons to Michael Jackson dangling his kid off the balcony, but I give you the benefit of the doubt that you actually caught the kid safel on his way down. :)
Ack!! This picture makes me nervous because I'm not sure how it was done and if the baby was actually thrown that high in the air. Technically, this is a great work of art. I really like the lighting, background, composition, the muted colors... ALL OF IT. Even the way the poses of both baby and father are simular. 10
Way cool. Almost looks like there was a slide or something there that has been removed (as the kid's legs seem to be cutoff), but still very good shot.
i love the idea of this photo though i cant help worry that daddy didnt catch the baby! My only complaint is my eye keeps being drawn to the structure on the horizon to the left - a little tighter crop perhaps would have been better. Great image though.
