I really enjoyed doing this shot! It was physically demanding pushing the chair against the ceiling for over 50 shots! :oP

Exellent illusion image. Having the toy on the chair is a perfect accessory to the illusion. Very good! Good luck in the challenge. Grayce aka Gracious

Nicely done, but I know that you flipped this photo upside down!

Awesome! Another of my favorites so far. Not sure why you put the stuffed animal on the chair; would have liked it better without that distraction, but an awesome shot nontheless.

A tad dark at the top, his red shirt doesnt balance the chair.

That's a pretty powerfull thumb. Cute effect. The guy should be positioned a bit more to the right to add realism. 6 Jacko.

I tried to turn it, but - does he really balance there??? Wow... 7 - KAOS

good shot: 8 for technical/execution 9 for humor/over all concept 6 for meeting challenge criteria (it shows skill not illusion, unless the hippo is meant to be counterbalancing him.) Good luck.

Good balancing act of the chair. The stuffed animal makes it for the illusion. Good job. Good picture.

gluing the whatever that is to the the chair helps alot here

Well posed, I am assuming your illusion is the gymnast is standing on his feet. Too bad you couldn't get someone with long flowing hair (like me!) Nice touch with the stuffed animal. If I'm wrong here, could you let me know so I can lower your score? 8 Swash

I think this guy may have left his new balance shoes on the chair in that other picture!! Nice Execution! 8

would be better if the light looked like it was coming from above and not from below

Super!

I don't think the stuffed animal adds much to the shot, but it is a good photo.

The little stuffed animal adds a nice touch. good work. karmat

Very clever -- well done!

At first I thought it must have been upside down but now I'm not too sure (the toy on the chair is a good addition in this respect)! I'm going to go with upside down and the toy was fixed to the chair. The lighting being in the bottom left might give it away, why put your light on the floor?!

Nice photo though, i like the movement in the hand to signify a bit of 'wobble' 8/10

This looks a little hokie because of the lighting source. The toy on the chair though helps a lot, but it's hard for me to overcome the light source on the bottom of the pic. The arm motion isn't hurting a thing either iMO - Inspzil
