A rush to do this in a day! Additional lighting provided by 500W flood, switched on for 2 secs with model present and same again with model missing, with exposure on bulb.
A little adustment to brightness, clipped a lttle balck and added unsharp mask.
Given more time, we could have done something about the costume. It was just an experiment, really. Just realised I could have bent the rules - I didn't.

I can't vote because this is for members only and I don't even have a camera, but I just had to tell you this is one of my favorites of the Halloween challenge. I love the idea as much as the execution. The ghostly affect is quite cool and amber lighting really ads to the mood. I think my only recommendation would be to turn your subject just a touch in order to get a bit more of the face showing (especially if it is made up in some ghostly manner) and maybe reach out an arm as if knocking on the door. This would break up the silhouette some and add some "action" to the scene. Good luck with the voting.
Very nice effect, would certainly make me think twice about answering the door! :) The light is a tad dark for my taste but overall well done. A 7 to start
