 This photo made in St Augustine , FL. In the cemetery. I been told n certain time the "face" appearing on the tombstone. I was waiting about the hour when the moon light , and other lights around it "created" this face. The interesting thing is, the lady next to me said the face on the photo looks like just a girl who actually died and buried under this tombstone.

*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

An interesting take that meets the challenge well.

Well, I feel your image deserved a lot higher score than you received but at the same time I can fully understand why it didn't, most people here will see pure black and move on, they will not search as fully for the ghost as they need to. It is for that reason that I like your submission, I like any image that involves a little more effort.

As regards the 'face' are you saying that you waited in front of a blank tombstone for an hour and the moon shone through revealing this apparition? Because the face is the most important element I think a closer crop excluding the confusing base would have been better. We have your technical details but given the very dark exposure I assume you were in manual exposure mode?

Now, how much credence do I place in your description? Its certainly an interesting anecdote, thanks, Sid.

Takes a minute to see the face, but interesting shot. My initial impression said it was to dark, but as I searched it got better.
