Comment by Louis:
The facelessness is what makes this spooky, but the wrinkles in the fabric detract from the effect for me, even though you say they are on purpose. The grain is ok, but try a monochromatic grain (not sure what application you use for post, but in PS, check the box marked "Monochromatic" in the "Noise" filter dialog). For my taste, there is too much room near the top of the frame, and this overall would have greatly benefitted from a tighter, more cramped crop, forcing the viewer to look at the figure directly. Forcing the viewer to look where you want always creates a feeling of dread in spooky photos like this. The "washed out" nature of it gives a feeling of ghostly wispiness, but a higher contrast and richer tonal range would also have helped with that sense of being forced to look at something somewhat unsettling. Lastly, for a truly ghostly effect, try photographing yourself reflected in darkened window glass (i.e., the environment is brighter on the side of the glass where the camera is). You'll have to position the camera carefully so it is not caught as well, but there's much you can do with such a photo.

Nice shot, but your white balance seems way off.

Leaves on the left is a bit distracting, this would have done a lot better for me if they were cropped out and the shot was more to the left. Otherwise, very nicely processed!

Very scary. I like the leg because it adds a little something to the shot. Good thinking with the grainy look.

The colors seem a little too soft. Still a nice capture.

Great. You should make a dyptich out of those two images. Love the grain.
