The Stanley Hotel Lobby in Estes Park, CO. ... finished in 1909. Centennial celebration this year! Always rumored to have been haunted, but I have been a skeptic... until today. I did not notice the apparition in my 4s exposure until it appeared on the computer screen during RAW processing. Please call the Ghost Hunters!!!! The 1909 lobby, as is.... 100 years old.

I thought this was a good job and creative too, not to mention it actually stuck to about 100 years old (rather than 800 or ....). Nice work.

OMG! The ghosts weren't there when I first saw the image...
Maybe I was tired. Still think it's a great picture.

edit for spelling

Not sure the "ghost" was necessary, as the interior by itself makes a pretty strong statement. Still very good...

It's great to see an image that looks like real life; a good publish-quality photo. Well done, and thanks.

Good comp, detail and nice use of long exposure.

This is really a beautiful interior. I would have scored this much higher if the "ghosts" had been in period costume. Something seems anachronistic about the modern clothes.

I know where this is. Did you do the ghost tour? As for the shot, nice exposure. Looks good.

It took me a few seconds to notice the figure walking through the middle of the frame for some reason. Initially I just thought it was a shot of the interior of an old building with a table and green chair in the foreground (I know that's what it is but I'm just describing my initial reaction to it).

While what you've done is amusing, it's not made for a great photo, especially given that the figure is wearing denims and a white top. Perhaps a girl in a dress would have worked better and a darker atmosphere.

I'm actually giving a 4 for this because of the figure, otherwise as a photo I would have given it a 5.
