Good thing those things aren't real! The poor model would need a wonderbra - as in "I wonder how anyone's back can support those things"

Well done. I got a chance to preview this one when my wife was voting, so I knew what to expect. It took a second for her to figure it out. It is pretty convincing that those are giant silicone breasts. Nice job - Inspzil

Good idea

You're right. They are nice MELONS and the person does a good job of holding those heavy things still. Good focus even though I don't like what you were getting at.

Very funny. The dramatic lighting and B&W work very well in this shot to create the illusion.

You're really trying to maximise the use of that corset aren't you? An effective illustion though. seasick - 7.

thank god this doesn't look as real as the thumbnail. At first I thought this woman really needed to see a doctor. Next thought, implants? But you have some very nice melons that are a wonderful illusion.

Ha ha, melons! All sorts of off color thoughts come to mind, but none of them critique the shot, sorry. Very good focus, pretty good match with the melons "color", good idea to go Black and White. Couldn't you find flesh colored melons? (joke back at you!) 7 Swash

What a lovely pair! It's really not much of an illusion though so I can't score it higher than 5. Unfortunate really, as it's a great photo and would have otherwise gained an 8 if it was more relevant.
