Got pretty crazy with this one. Wanted a really dirty, nasty feel, and I think that was achieved. Lots of levels, curves going on. Little Dodge and Burn. Prolly get hammered in the challenge because it is a bit "scary," but overall....mission accomplished!
****Update-- Actually sold this print, and got best in show (best alternative process digital) for this piece in a local art show!!!

Glenn Close, I guess. It's a very effective use of long exposure. I also like the graphic, high-contrast look you've gone for. And the two facial expressions are each perfect for their "part". Well done. 7
nicely done. The tattoo on the left breast is very distracting and the tub looks a little to bright. I like the lack of color and find it compliments the facial expressions of the model in the tub. Well done and good luck in this challenge. <8>
the colors almost make the picture seem too processed or badly processed.
But they actually work giving the picture a gothicy, surreal, horror movie type feel.
And I like it.
Interesting shot. I think that it is allowed to burn in detail. The tub was too overexposed. Just touching it up with a slightly darker color would have really made the photo hard to beat.
Excellent dramatic effect. It has the feeling of the soul leaving the drown girls body. So you got high points from me for the dramatic effect of the long esposure, but you lost a little for the brightness of the tub. The tub is a bit distracting from your main subject.
Some may complain about the obvious burning/dodging. I think it almost works....adding to the dreaminess of the pic. Its almost like a scene out of a movie....like "What Lies Beneath".....Sorry, I'm a film major....this is how I think :)
I like the blown-out areas and the washed-out colors as they give this shot an ultra-spooky feel that I'm sure you were going for. Honestly, I find the soap dish distracting, but that's pretty minor.
This was my favorite of the 'ghost' images. It has so much impact for me, it's gritty, scary, and a great idea - I just wish the tub wasn't over exposed.
OH WOW THIS IS CREEPY (and I like it). Really imaginative. Great creativity. The grainy quality is old and the duo tones of the two bodies is really cool. How'd you do that???? Can't wait to read when the challenge is over.
