Done with a single exposure. First curtain flash with model on floor for approx 20 then quickly getting up for the ghost for remainder 10 seconds. Wish I could have done some dodging and burning on this. Maybe I should have kept this for an Advanced challenge. After doing some dodging and burnimg, it comes out much better.

This is a really interesting idea.

I think what might have made this a better shot for me would be less distractions in the background. If the dead woman was laying on a dark coloured floor, then when she stood up (for the ghost effect), you wouldn't see as much of a transparency in the body. As it is now, you can tell that the dead body is a bit see-through.

I also would have like the ghost to be closer to the body... like leaning up really close to the face, or perhaps even half-way in the body and half-way out. I don't know if that was possible.

Interesting idea!

Good to see somebody use some imagination; reflection is a very nice touch.

Creative! I love the "ghost" and I am thinking I would have liked the photo even more without the CSI guy. I think he just distracts from the scene. 8

I like the 1970's vibe that this has. The colors almost look Polaroid.
