Very well done, my only pick is that the hands are more transparent against the pumkin than the table. I like the processing it's sort of cartoony if that's a word.
It's a pretty picture, but I don't think that shutter speed type ghosts are really transparency. Too bad you couldn't have known that the shutter speed challenge was coming, this would be a very strong entry there, but it doesn't meet my definition of this challenge.
I think that the idea here is great and the execution is strong, but the background is a little too much. Perhaps a plainer background could have been used or this one could have been blurred a little.
the ring around the pumpkin and difference in fingers/arms is a bit distracting for me...i would have enjoyed seeing ghostly fingers grabbing the pumpkin. the picture has an interesting collage feel, which i find strangely appealing as i look at it more!
Interesting. The ourline of the pumpkin where the hands are looks almost cut out somehow - give it an odd look. Your photo has almost a drawing or painting quality to it.
I like the idea alot.. but I think I would have softened the definition of the lines a tad where the hand meets the pumpkin... it looks a little too drawn to me... if that makes sense... not a natural flowing line.
