This is a very pretty shot, but darned if I can figure out what the illusion is!

It's a nice shot - the title actually detracts from the "illusion" connection for me. This is my second look and now I am seeing where the person on the left could be "levitating the other person.

Well I guess I'll start with the lighting, it is a little harsh causing dark shadows most noticeable under the chin. There is a lot of reflection off the person's face.

There doesn̢۪t appear to have much effort put into the photo, it looks like a snapshot when you where messing around with some buddy̢۪s. Showing the object that hit him would have help as well as stepping back to capture more of your subject. Because you are so close his head seams to be disproportioned to his shoulders as well.

The background doesn̢۪t help the photo either you lose the persons hair in it. The dots next to his mouth are distracting as well. Lighting would have helped this as well. If you were trying to convey boxing try hinting at it in the background too, Like maybe seeing people sitting behind red white and blue ropes.

I hope this has helped feel free to PM me if you have any questions or would like more clarification on anything. Thank you.

Would have been more in context if you could have seen part of the boxing glove or whatever it was that hit him. Doesnt fit category as it stands here.
