This is just me taking silly photos. Artistic, no. One of the few times I actually staged a photo. Though it was staged in the lightest sense. I just told my wife (who is in the mask) to run around and do whatever.
This is just one image capture.
Slight crop.
Bunch of editing in Capture NX
SB-600 flash using commander mode off on the left.
This is just advanced editing.
Stuff in the top left is actually limb and "sensor" noise from a tree which I accentuated with contrast/brightness/cuvers adjustmnets.

It was a joy to shoot this with my wife. Generally she shys away from the camera. Wish I would have had a couple of more takes, but my wife gets a little antsy, plus my flash batteries were on their last leg (recycle time was very long).

OMG who knew that Aliens liked to camp out? Did you catch it during a potty break - so sly. Lol I love the pic! Looks like you guys had a great time. The dark tones and lighting really set the right mood. Fun photo!
HEE HEE - I like the contrast and story. Maybe a bit busy compositionally. With shots like yours and mine, the really SUPERB ones shine even brighter. 6
