I went to this lookout hoping to get some good beach/sea/moon shots for this challenge. The results were fairly ordinary, so I began experimenting with my 'ghost' subject. He walked into frame, was lit by the flash from a second camera, then left the frame during the longish exposure required for the background. It was a cold, dark night and I was totally unprepared for this type of shot. No tripod. The camera was balanced on a park bench. Very litle planning - just a bit of luck.
The only editing was unsharp mask, resize and save.

After viewing this great entry (which I believe should have received a ribbon) it inspired me to join in the fun of the challenges. So look out.....Regards Dad.
Hmmmmm... a bit corny, really. The posing is bad. Just standing straight on with his hands in his pockets takes away from might have otherwise been an eerie mood.
a little eerie, but to make it more eeie perhaps his jacket color shouldn't be so bright and maybe too much light on his face. i like the composition and moonlit water.
