Technical: Very sharp. Good work in keeping the flowing look of the water that is on the ground, while capturing the explosion of water in the air. Colors all harmonize nicely.
Composition: I like everything but the clothed woman in the upper corner. Perhaps a person wrapped in nothing but a towel standing in her place would have been better, and more convincing.
Wow, you did an awsome job of capturing the splash here. I'd like to see an original size crop of just the splash to see how much detail ya actually got. It looks like in resizing you may have lost a little. Overall, this is cropped to tight for my taste and as far as the challenge goes, it's a little to straight forward for this viewer to count as an illusion. Great stop action though!

This is a fantastic capture... too bad that woman is in the corner, she detracts from the shot for me. As far as illusions go... well, I'm iffy on that, but I'm not detracting too much for it. :)
the person on the left is a bit of a distraction. Also the top of the "geyser"? is cropped out and takes away from the overall feeling of the picture. I'm also missing the "illusion"...
This is a great image & very well taken but I'm not sure it fits my idea of the challenge I still really like it though! 6 (8 if it fitted a bit more!)
This is a WONDERFUL shot. My only complaint is that it doesn't appear to be an illusion. I'm assuming this geiser is real and that you haven't tricked us with something? Spectacular shot, in any case.
