Interesting take on the challenge. Not being a plant person, I'm missing the point of the greens however.

Your image is quite yellowish in tone. Did you shoot this under regular light bulbs? Your white balance might have been set wrong. It's also a little flat lighting wise.

I'm sorry, I guess I just don't understand this picture... it's also rather lacking in focus

Not sure about the illusion on this image.

needs a little sharpening of image...I don't know what the plant means.

The heather seems to be rather soft , which is probably more to do with the difference between the highligts and shadows on it. so additional lighting would help resolve this.

The challenge is to trick your viewer. Illusions of richness and luck are different.

a bit boring. the hand from the right makes you want to look to what its pointing at. and what its pointing at is boring and a bit out of focus.

Don't understand the meaning of your title? The green moss reminds me of a spider...

I'm not sure I understand the illusion as I do not know what the green plant is and what it has to do with luck.

Sorry, but I don't get the illusion here. Perhaps it is a cultural thing, but I'm not seeing it.
08/08/2005 07:44:17 PM
focus and lighting are a little off and there seems to be a slight color cast on the hand, but with a little more practice, luck may no longer be an illusion. i like your idea

Whats the green stuff?
08/08/2005 04:43:06 PM
First Impression:I think it is a bit too red, and a bit soft too. The hand (not the fingers), takes up a lot of space but does not contribute. I think it would have benefitted from b&w.
Was I fooled? Doesn't count., this is implied illusion. And implied well.

Good color, I like the texture of that wood. This doesn't grab me.

what is the green plant? I don't recognise it but i assume that is a symbol for good luck i'd love to know what it is.

This image just doesn't excite me... I'm not sure what's missing... maybe it's the background.

The green stuff is slightly out of focus, I would selct a smaller aperature to get a greater DOF.
