It was really funny. I wanted to catch a "transparent" image of a ghost, so my model had to suffer jumping and jumping in order to allow me to create that image. It was difficult to have the best lights because the room (a room hotel in a cottage) wasn't prepared for such an experiment.

i liked this. the first time i saw it, i just took it to be a picture of a candle in front of some curtains but on closer inspection, i saw the "ghost" and thought it was a cool effect. like i said, i dig it.
i'm sure the intent was to portray something else in the BG. I see what appears to be some folds in sheets, but it doesn't stand out enough to get the message across.
The composition feels a bit squeezed with it being so near the wall. It's a nice attempt at a ghost image. I'd like more to the ambiance of the cottage than just the wood walls. 6
with this being an advanced editing challange I would have liked to see the hot spot on the left toned down ... my eye wants to focus there instead of the candles or ghostly figure behind it ...
