shot my arm against a white background - used PS to resize the image to lifesize and create 3 overlapping crops - desaturated the 3 new images to 0%, 33% and 66%, printed and taped them up on a black background - cut a hole in my background and in a clean sheet of paper - arranged my hand through the holes and shot about 40 pics before i hid the hole and liked the shadows - thanks to all who like my shot, and a big fat BLEAGH to everyone else!
Cool photo - makes me think of Escher's work. I like the seamlessness where the hand peeks out and how it still looks like it's on the same plane as the other arm pieces. Great execution. shedonist 9
Very creative, I am sure that you will place in the top two. Can't decide between this one and the chess board, both excellent illusions and well shot.
waaay cool. and very clever. I hope the hand isn't yours cause I can' imagine how you took the picture if it is. My eyes are completely fooled. I can't see how the real hand gets up. I only wish that the ring had been on straight instrat of twisted to the side - 10
Excellent job! You spent a lot of time on this I can tell. I especially like the varying degrees of color saturation fading out to B&W in the photos. Nice effect. 10
Great illusion! A couple things don't quite like correct, the lines through the lowest part of the arm and how it doesn't quite match up, but otherwise, this is terrific!!! 10 Swash
Quality image, nice 'illusion'! I thought that this was a difficult challenge, I guess the creative juices weren't flowing as I had decided not to participate. This is a great idea, and makes me want to smack myself, 'Why didn't I think of that!' :O) Shelia I gave it a 10!
