 Set-up. My homes staircase, my wifes old apple doll, hand held doll in front of stairs in one hand shot with other leaning against wall to steady arm. Focused on stairs, to slightly blur the doll to make ghostly effect.

Photoshop-removed all red to reduce darkness (lower dress), grayscaled, RGPed, added bluish purple tone, lightened whites, and sharpened.

I thought this was one of the perfect photos for this challenge and I am very surprised that it didn't score any higher. The kind of blurriness and color are perfect for a dream. The doll is really spooky and seems kind of like a ghost. This is great.

Yeah I like this for its Child's Play / Omen / General Sicko genre of scary stuff! That doll thing looks very, very ill indeed. It's not at all right and I would NOT like that to appear in my dreams - that's for sure. Simply a haunting image - although the blue is so primary that it nearly kills the scary vibe to it. I'd like to see if it looks more ill if the colours were muted.

That doll thing's not right you know... not right at all. [8] ; )

Weird and bizarre. I like it. Strange colors and grainy feel add to this photo, though I suppose I would like to see the bride in better focus.

A ghost shot? If it was just slightly clearer I would probably score a little higher
