Nice image. Seems to me the image itself holds enough mystery without the clouds superimposed.


Sorry about that :)

I loved this one--though the point by another commenter about a flowing diaphonous gown is well taken. Expected to see it in the top ten!

This is very nice, very moody and evocative.

Interesting use of the window reflection to create the illusion.

A very nice subtle representation. Bump.

The best of the apparitions IMO. Lovely blue tones. Back to bump to 8.

Who is that? What's she doing? Why? Nice image! The off-center position is interesting here, along with the partial reflection. The stormy sky adds an air of mystery. 6.

not bad for a simple trick. Too bad the apparition looks sorta like she's just chatting with someone. 5

oddly enough, the ponytail gave you an additional point from me. Sort of a type of apparitional innocence I guess. well done with blending the two scenes together. great job.

I really like this. I have something vaguely like it (shadowy figure with blue cast) that I took years before the competition so I couldn't enter it but I would have otherwise. But you can be my proxy, you have my vote (or comment, at least)! I guess you had to choose between this challenge and the silhouette challenge on this one...

Wow! This is my favorite so far. I love the blue tones, and that ghost-like effect was perfectly executed. Fantastic job. 10

Love the idea of this photo. It would have more of an impact if your subject was wearing a long flowing gown that was blowing in the wind. That would give it a ghostly feel.
