very nice shot and yes "point of view is the key". It took me a few moments to figure this out because of the shadow but alas I did and alas I may too try to recreate this just out of curriosity.

congrats on a great photo!

nicely done

I think a standard yellow pencil would have looked much better in place of the brown pencil. Not enough color (if you are going to use color which you did) but still a good photo.

Great idea! Wonderful shot....

Wow, very good set up! Turning a drawn effect into a photo, wow, must have been difficult. Very convincing! Score upgraded from 8 to 9. Swash

Excellent shot! It's got me fooled... = 10 - setzler

escher optic teaser...strong and simple. if you introduced some color on your pencil would it help balance the blue of the pin? just a thought. still a good shot. (8) ~mcmurma

This is a great illusion. The photo is pretty good too, but I see it as 'potentially a great photo' but that's not all bad. I think this one would be more dramatic put in B&W since there isn't an extraordinary amount of color. The concept is great though and I think it would be worth reshooting just for personal reasons. - Inspzil

good trick
10/29/2002 02:54:00 AM
I think the shadow knows. This definitely had my brain twisting for awhile. Good work!

Good job! - 9

Clever! Not sure that I like the brown pencil, maybe something with colour! The illusion really works though
10/28/2002 08:03:00 PM
Very clever! Good work.

Classic. 7 JEM

Very well done. Good illusion. Great depth and 3-D to picture. Very sharp and clear. Like placement of object in picture. A 10 for sure.
10/28/2002 05:03:00 PM

10 - the winner so far!
10/28/2002 02:16:00 PM
very clear. at first i thought i knew how you did this, but then i saw a shadow that disproves my theory. great work. karmat

Very Escher-esque. :-) I keep wondering what it would look like without the pencil and pin though. 6 kathleenm

Great illusion and awesome shot! Thanx for making me racking my brain! Was it inevitable for this illusion to put the pencil and the blue pin into the picture? - nds

Very intresting..Good job.
10/28/2002 12:45:00 PM

One of the best examples of a real illusion - 8/10. pixar
10/28/2002 05:51:00 AM
Brilliant
10/28/2002 05:44:00 AM
Excellent. Really well set up and a good photo.
10/28/2002 04:53:00 AM
Truly believable. I like this picture.
10/28/2002 01:04:00 AM
This would be a 10 without the tac or pencil. I love the illusion of the black and white area. Still a top scorer:)
