Yes in case you have not already figured it out this is Cassie from my Cemetery challange shot.
My daughter and I went to the site of this abandoned house (me a little nervous, her dressed as Cassie). It was completely pitch dark, I had to set up the camera using the headlights of my vehicle. I set the tripod up in front of the house setting the shutter to 8 seconds. The model sat in front for about 3 seconds and then jumped out of the way. I lay in the grass and fired the camera. Thats pretty well it. We had a great time taking the shot but we were a little spooked with the location and subject matter.
Hope it does well ...

I too loved this picture, you really captured a feeling that really suits the house itself. I think it should have done better. Anyway congrats on a really awesome image!
Would have scored a <9> had it been level. I like the grainyness and the B7W conversion and the faintness of the person in the photo. I think it adds to the photo and raises the bar in this challenge. well done and good luck.
She looks like she has one foot in the air; I'm amazed you got her to stand like that for long enough to leave such a strong image without any trace of her exit.
Whoaa! NIce shot, i didnt see the "ghost" until i took a close look at the image. It is a neat shot and the house is awesome. I also like the stars in the sky, it looks very nice. Neat shot!
This is a nice image. I like how you were able to make this image look. I like some of the lines seen throughout this image. I also like how this image is so dark. Nice work.
First reaction: Awesome! Very well done. Without the aparition, it would've been one of my top picks and although the ghost makes it more interesting, it also detracts from the shot a bit. I'm conflicted about it. Settle for a 9?
Very creepy shot. I love the Samara/ghostly spirit addition. I just wish there was a bit more sky above the roof. Did you crop it? But great work, hope you do well.
I'm a sucker for shots like these. Nice job. The house alone is spooky. You did a great job with the "ghost." The graininess of the sky is to be expected with a long exposure, but it sure made those starts pop out.
Oh wow! How interesting!!! I really LOVE pictures like this with that exposure trick! I love your color tones, and that old house is just awesome! Can you imagine just abandoning a cool old house like that??? Ok. . .the longer I type this comment, the more I am liking this picture. I've decided it's one of my most favorites of the whole 498 bunch. The night sky too is such a cool aspect of this picture. I was going to give you a 10, but now I guess I have to find a way for a 10+ :) Good luck for a ribbon. It would be one of my picks for sure.
Perhaps I misread things, but I thought that only basic editing was allowed in this challenge. I like the house, but to be honest, I feel that the ghostly image detracts from the picture.
OK I'm hoping this isn't real ...lol... I can't even type this comment right now to disturbing to look at lol I'M a scaredy cat ..lol...I was out taking pictures yesterday with a few friends at abandoned buildings... I was soo scared I couldn't concentrate on my shots..lol .. I also had a very weird experience there. I have a before and after shot of a stair case in my portfolio..in one of the pic's there a weird image floating ... kind of creepy ... anyway .. im giving this a.....9... just for being courageous...good luck
great composition. And an instant favorite of mine. however texture, color is hard to see here. and I have to take off points , but a great entry nevertheless..6
