Set up at the local cemetary with some props and extra clothes. Single 30s exposure on a moon light night. 3 flashes of the SB800 off camera and 2 very quick changes :).
I wanted to maintain the see-through / ghostly effect with the flash.
For all those who comment on the focus, additional blur was added for feel.

The voters just didn't understand the concept of this, tecnically you did a great job and dont let them worry you, I was there and it was great fun and a great experience and thats what photography is all about, not winning or losing , your personal taste is never the same as anyone else but you should take pics to please you nobody else, your bloody lucky you didn't get another Brown ribbon lol. better luck next time.

OK...how many "does not fit challenge" comments have you received? I am one of those quirky DPC folks who adore photos that do not fit the challenge. The photo has some problems though, with lack of focus, intentionally done I realize, yet a blurring of clarity in the story of these men and the background is too dark to appreciate or even understand what the lights are about, thus distracting. The brown non-ribbon is a coveted prize with DPC bottom feeders! good luck
I think the person on the left is cheating,the middle person is bewildered & the bloke on the right woudn't have a clue. Other than that i gave it a ten (cause I was there, whooooooo im I )
I am making two passes on this Challenge. I will vote on your photo then return later(before voting is over) to comment on what I like and dislike about your shot. You can take the comments however you wish and I will try not to be mean. Just don't take it the wrong way.

Good Idea just too dark. I can make out the tombstones in the background.
