This would have been better if the line (as in the pinky and first finger) was more defined and not so 'processed' looking. Also, this is a copy of the first Illusiuons challenge...
This is a very well done illusion which takes advantage of all that falls into the first zone simply drops out and blends in with a background of a similar zone. There is one more thing that can be done to enhance this effect. Let us say you print this out life size and then use say the pinky. Cut it out, you need not cut perfect. Then use a black magic marker and blackenned the edges. Now you cover the entire pinky and place the cut piece at an abnormal angle to create a displacement. The viewer will at once figure that you are dropping tones but then the displaced fingertip will aid the illusion by creating a double take from the viewer. However be proud of this effort since in its own right it is complete.
Very nice! Ya got the focus spot on on the palm of the hand, but it's a little soft at the fingertips. Looks like ya wrapped the tame a little too tight though, ya can see where thing pointer and middle fingers bulge a little above it and also the thumb.

Nice idea and it looks real. But being a member challenge I think you should have done a little more Photoshop work to it. Like clone out the spot in the middle of the hand and the white specs above the thumb. Still a 9 though.
Re-done from the last challenge. The tape catches a glint from the light in a few places, making it visible. having the wrist still attached may have added something to it as well.
cool shot, i guess black ribbons? i like the lighting, but thing the color could have been more than just black and white, maybe a duotone while still maintaining the invisible sections.
Great job. The only thing that bothers me is that it looks like I can see the knot tied on the black cloth around the thumb (against the palm), otherwise the illusion would be complete.
This is a neat shot. I think the highlights on the palm could come down a little bit to give the hand more texture, but an otherwise well executed idea.
