Taken with a Tamron 19-35mm f/3.5 lens. I exposed the picture at the start with very bright light for about 4 sec while she was laying down. Then turned off the bright lights and exposed the rest of the scene for about 4 sec under less intense light, creating a ghost look.
Hopefully people get that the ghost figures of herself and the robber are dreams in her head.

You are on quite the roll as of late. I love this picture and all i think about is that crazy dream i keep having with the priest, the minister and the rabbi. Oh well, its too long to write about here, but all i can say is a lot of whores. Borton, you kick butt!
I love this photo even though the shadow of the man with the knife is very disturbing. Scary! Do you have any outtakes without the man that would depict an out of body experience? That would be cool. 10
Interesting photo. Good triangle composition. Like that it is b&w. The only thing distracting is the tie hanging over the left ghost image. Pretty good shot.
Very cool! Both exposures of the her sitting up and the guy with a knife are perfect! I would have tried to tweak it a little more somehow to make the lighting different, maybe darker, or the contrast more extreme, etc., not sure. Good job!! 8.
I love the idea and the story here....I want a better camera!!! :-P From a picture point of view though, it's a little confusing from the sleeping girls chin to about her hand. It's hard to focus on anything in that area....I do want to know though...did you do this with two exposures in camera or one long one??? Some of the shadows aren't 'right' around the thing hanging by the window (image top left)
Great idea. The relative exposure times of the two shots is just right. The motion blur on the model with the knife is perfect. My only complaint is that the two photos interfere with each other too much. It would be better if the sitting-up face was back a bit so it didn't get bisected by the window frame. But even more, the image would portray "dream" better if the laying-down model wasn't "ghosted" by shooting the attack photo against a black background. I realize that doing that in-camera is a tall challenge!
Cool idea but the even lighing makes it look like she sleeps with the light on. Maybe some bright light through a slightly ajar door would add to the realism.
I vote this photo a perfect 10. I love the double image of the woman sleeping. I also love the nightmare overhead -- and the black and white just seals the deal! Beautifully executed. May you win this challenge hands down!
I like this. This image causes your eyes to travel around the entire shot. I notice the girl sitting up first then laying down, and the stalker comes into view after your eyes leave the girl in the bed. The only thing I'm not too keen on is the size of the stalker relative to everything else in the shot.
That would definitely freak me out. But this actually leaves me the idea that she did wake up and he is going to be there. What happens!? I want to know!
believe it or not I think this would work better without the masked murderer. The look on her face as she wakes up is very good, and it can be left to the viewer's imagination what she was dreaming about. shame about the window frame too, a blank wall that didn't interfere with the facial expression would have helped.
I didn't see the guy with the knife at first, it took me a few seconds. This is amazing, and easily my favourite photo for the challenge. This must have cost you a lot of practice shots right? Great, well done and deserves my 10 for sure.
Very cool shot...can't wait to learn how it was done. Only fault I can see is the light on her chin when she is laying down, it is a little distracting (but not much!)
