Like the weway you have achieved the blur & mood of the shot! I may have like to see her legs visible partially though.

Indeed, very spooky and well done. 'A young woman haunts the graveyard' reminds me of the ghost story of a young woman whom is either standing outside a cemetary or bridge that a motorist stops to give a lift home. When they arrive at her 'home' she has disappeared from the car leaving the motorist to knock on the door of the house only to find that the grieving parents tell of their daughter being dead for "x" number of years. O.K. now back to the photo composition. I like how gave this has an ethereal quality. Nighttime would be more spooky but then you would not get the bokeh circles of the leaves in the backdrop - which compliments the 'ethereal'/otherworldly feel of the photo. The spookiness comes from the ghostly woman who stands at her grave. She seems to be more 'phase-shifted' rather than having see-through quality that stereotypically ghosts appear. I don't think that harms the composition overall just presents a different take. Exposure and lighting a great. I actually Googled "Spooky" because I wasn't sure if it was a song title - not only did I learn it was but I also found out about a song title from Davie Bowie that I did not know about: "Please Mr. Gravedigger"

Back to comment...

Yes, very spooky! Looks like Ms. Coleman died quite young. Murdered, perhaps?

My fav in this challenge, no doubt !
Really a tasteful photo, very delicate and it looks real, that makes it therefore spookier than other photos in this challenge.
Congrats !

I'm sure the Classics IV had no idea what they were creating with that song title. This is really good.
