 Thanks to my friend Michelle for tromping around in the freezing rain with me in a graveyard around midnight, and for being so patient while I tried to get the shot "just right".

Thank you all so much for the comments!!

I should really have checked this on another computer before I submitted...My laptop screen is much brighter that most monitors, it would seem! Live and learn!

Nice effect.

Nicely shot, the long exposure doubles up for the ghostly effect as well as a good night shot. Perhaps a little higher contrast though, to accent the gravestone sillouettes... 8

Nice idea.

I would have liked to score this higher since I love the concept. Unfortunately the background is too dark to see clearly.

Freaky, creepy, and a bit too under-exposed for my taste.

Very dark and spooky. A unique photo and composed well. The details are somewhat hard to see.

Great title, just a bit too dark for me though, I'd like to see her surroundings better, be able to identify where she might be in this ghost world.

I really like this idea, but the background is so dark on my monitor that I almost missed what you were doing. Composition is good (what I can see of it). I am sorry I can't be more positive, I think this could have been a ribbon.

Perfect way to use night. Outstanding color and use of ghost effect.

Nice model and idea. Subject could be a bit lighter. Need more details in background...7

Interesting picture, really like it, I'll be watching this one to see how it does. A lot of people might be using LCDs and it is amazing how this image changes with the angle that you are sitting at. I checked the white/black balance and at exactly the right level it is perfect! (if you move the laptopscreen back and forth it creates quite an eerie effect! I hope people don't say it is too dark. Good luck

Nice ghost, very errie feeling

Pretty good ghost effect, but I'd like the background to have some more light. My monitor is at full brightness and I can barely see the markers in the foreground.

This photo appears very dark from my viewpoint. It's difficult to distinguish much of anything in it but dark and a little orange color. Too much night- not enough shot.

I had to really squint and turn off the lights to try and see what's going on in this shot. Unless there's something wrong with my screen I feel perhaps it would have been more effective if it was a little more exposed.

-8- Would have bid higher if I could make out the scene in the back.

It's very dark. The girl looks really spooky, which is fine for the graveyard. BTW you are the brave person to go into the graveyard by night.

Great concept, but the whole shot seems too dark.
