Photo was taken in a place called Prusia, in Cartago Costa RIca. This is an old abandoned hospital for patients that had tuberculosis. I imagine that when people see ghosts, this is what they look like, a little difficult to see. I wanted the picture to make you really study it, and i wanted it to take a while before you saw the "ghost". I adjusted contrast, saturation and sharpness. Crop and straighten.

good choice of "background." i almost missed "the ghost." if it weren't for the feet, I would have just thought you found an old house to shoot in.

It is hard to see the (ghost) in the picture at first. The background is very appropiate, therefor it is almost paraormal in two different ways. The columns and the banister really lead the eye into the photgraph.

I would love to go there! I took me some time to see that guy, but the location is so interesting i didn't mind staring a little while longer. Great shot!

The ghost is a touch faint (as ghosts might well be). Love the composition and colours.

i like how you can only really see his legs and torso, it makes the picture look more real, and i love the setting.
