To get the shot I used a cut out picture of a hanged man and then tied the loop end of a yo-yo string around the ankle and dangled it off the side of a table for the "hanging" effect. I then used a basic flashlight to capture the shadow on the wall to get a more vintage look. The flashlight battery started to die out on me towards my last few shots. I desaturated the image, cropped once and played with the contrast. Lastly I added the border.

Yay! I'll definitely take 7th place. Thank you everyone for such wonderful comments and scores. I really enjoyed checking in everyday and reading the comments. This was a tough challenge and I was trying to capture the mysteriousness of the "tarot". I'm still new to the site and excited to keep shooting and learning new things.
