 So I wanted to make this look like my spirit leaving my body(another self portrat), and I hope thats how it came across!

I just used an extremely slow shutter speed to do this. During editing:

cropped
clairified
ajusted saturation
sharpened
edge preserving
saved for web

Hope you guys like this!

A bit too dark to be truly effective. I have a (too) bright monitor, so I can see what you were doing with this, but just barely.

Nice idea, but I prefer the ethereal glow on the "soul" that one of the other similar entries achieved.

This is a really good idea. I think the picture is a little too dark.

good idea, perhaps a bit too much dark. the only perplexity is that even the spirit is dressed but is only a detail. 8

Nice and spooky :-) I like the low lighting and sense of movement. I do think the composition would be stronger with a little more negative space on right-hand side of head.

Even though it's a bit dark, I think it works.

Its really dark and hard to tell what is going on in the shot.

Good idea and concept but the image is too under exposed for my taste. With a little work on the contrast and curves this could be improved dramatically. As I said though, this was a really good idea
