Long exposure. Asked the subject to move after one sec (manually covered the objective while she was moving away). Total real exposure to light is about 2 secs.

well executed shot and composition.
I really like the neutral couch and the bright left hand corner which gives the 'room' depth... I wonder how it would look if the figure wore a solid colored dress? The dress seems to be of a similar pattern as the pillow and might take a way just a tad from the contrast? but perhaps that was intended... In any case, well done and great lighting!
How did you work this shot? Did you shoot the couch without the model and move her in or the other way around? Your pillow obviously moved during the exchange... There are a couple of ways to pull off the lighting of a shot like this and make it look more like I'm assuming you wanted it too look... What color is the couch itself? It kinda dissapears into the wall. Maybe a dark backdrop behind it would bring out more detail and help to eliminate the hot spot upper right wall.
TC.
I like the idea, but feel that illusion would work better if the cussion was in the same place for the whole shot.
That being said this is still a very pleasing image. Well done and thanks
I really want to like this a lot, but the model's dress being very similar to the throw pillow, and the movement of the pillow hurts it a bit. A bit more time on the couch might have helped.
Beautiful and haunting image. Maybe a bit more exposure on the model to bring out a bit more detail would have worked just as good here. Overall I love it, good job!
I like the statement, however I think the execution could be a little better. The pillow moved causing it to blur and become a distraction. The lady in the illusion is too faint, maybe a little longer exposure on her would help. Also her outfit matches the fabric in the pillow too closely and she becomes even more lost.
Great idea. did you try one without the pillow? Seems it has effected her depth of opaquness (thats not a word...) i would have liked to see a little more of her face.
I think I've spent longer looking at this than any other entry!...still not entirely sure i've got it! shame her face isnt a bit more visable - I think the busy pattern of the cushion prevents this. A emotive photo none the less.
