I keep coming back to this shot, and find it amusing that someone questions it's validity because it looks too real. That's the paranormal paradox. "Submit proof or I won't believe it." or "I can't believe it because it's too convincing."

At first I noticed the figure in the center, but as I revisit the shot it begins to feel like a room full of people. I see six distinct figures, including an old western type in the upper left corner. It's rare that I pick up anything in a "ghost" photo, but this one is swarming with personalities. Whether or not they are real, it is just so interesting to look at.

I do like the abstract feel of this.

I so wish this was a little sharper, her "look" is great.

Amid scores of stale portraits I see every day that bore me stiff, this is such a rare gem that I keep coming back to have another look at it. I do think there's room for a bit of improvement, though (Deep shadow areas with no detail, for instance). That's why I haven't given it a 10. Great work, nevertheless.
