It looks like she's about to open something that will kill her with her spirit looking on... spooky.

Comment by ppescitelli:
Nice detail in the figure, but am very distracted by the background. IMHO it detracts from the image.

whoa... took me a second--I was thinking, how does this fit the challenge... didn't see the "ghost" at first. The positioning must've took a couple tries!

Comment by spencerwood:
The main subject is pretty complex and so having a relatively complicated background (despite being blurred) and a textured reflective surface, the whole image is pretty busy. I bet it didn't compress well and you may have had to step down the jpeg quality a fair amount to get under the 150K limit - in my limited experience on this site, the clean and simple ones work the best. If this was taken from a lower viewpoint, with a wider angle looing up against a neutral background, the horse would be much better isolated and I'm certain would have scored higher - good luck.
