Finger in foreground too out of focus and catches your eye too much. Takes the attention away from the illusion and good focused parts. Without that finger would be an 8 but is is bo blantant it drops you 3 points
Very well taken photo. Ohhhh, I finally see the illusion, sorry, it's a bit subtle. Cute trick. Score upgraded from a nice photo of fingers (7) to a very good illusion, 9 Swash (I think the clutter in the background helped to confuse this, IMO)
Needs more light on the end of the thumb to help the illusion. Could have included a more interesting background (the illusionists face, making it a portrait too?).
Nice! I can still see a tiny bit of your thumb though. Maybe you should have painted the end of it black to blend it in with the background. Otherwise, a great pic.
