 Shot in our front yard. The ghost effect made this one the best of all the shots. Cloned out color trails from her movement. Sharpened the image. Tried repeatedly to use red eye removal with poor results so I left them in, as they are.
I was asked how I created the effect by a few commenters. It was a happy accident. My daughter was tired of being shot & got up in the middle of the exposure.

I am very happy with the pose, the expression and the comp, but the effect suffers, first from the selection which has been feathered to much creating fuzziness all around the perimeter. But, hey, those cute eyes win me back at once and I am bumping this image to 6.

took me a while to figure out how you did this without it being two photographs. Did you have her in the shot from the start or add her later? The ghosting is a little too much for the bright colors she is wearing. Also may have worked better if she appeared to be moving through the scene instead of standing still. None the less great technique and good job.

I think I would have preferred this shot if she wasnt transparent. She just looks a bit fuzzy at the moment.

Nice effect - cute model. The white sky between the leaves on the left side are a bit detracting.

Nicely done. But how was this done within the rules of the Challenge? It looks like a digital montage which I assume is not how you did it?

I you were able to stay within the limits of editing then Well Done...I'd also love to know how you did it :-)

I like how you used a long exposure to give her an ethereal quality.
