Great composition and interesting image, The background is dark and works nicely but I'd like to know what those square things are, I don't really know anything about saint patrick's well. cool pic though, it's as if the ghost is re-living it's death and falling into the well over and over.

I looked and looked and looked, I had to google your title for more insight, if it's about the story I'm thinking, the buggy wasn't a shopping buggy but a horse drawn one. I just don't think this meets the challenge.

Photographically, I think the innerglow-frame is a little too much and it is too tightly cropped without symmetry, if you choose not to follow the rule of thirds I would recommend centring it a little more, there is a big gap from the shopping buggy to the right of the frame compared to the left side.

The shadow and angle and lines it creates are interesting, but the fence at the top is weirdly distracting adding a hole bunch more lines that don't have anything to do with the photo.

I'm sorry to say it but I find this a little bit plain and uninteresting and it doesn't really meet the challenge too much,
It is almost creepy in the way some of the photos of basements where something might be lurking would be but it's just not there.

A very cool, very abstract whirl of spirits. The tones are smooth and nice and the touch of noise works nicely in this. If I ever got sucked into a tv like on poltergeist, I imagine this is very much what it would result in.

Hah, great title, there is a will helm scream app I have on my phone so it screams if I drop it.

The photo really doesn't tickle my fancy but I think I see the whole "ghost hunters" esque real ghost photo style you were trying to capture. It is a creepy photo no doubt. I just don't see it competing in an expert editing challenge.

Good luck though! Hopefully you'll find a few people who are into this niche of creepiness.

Are you suffering from psoriasis? The leading dermatologists recommend you tear your skin open and let out the ghosts underneath it, it's a leading cure to psoriasis. now back to your paid programming.

And interesting photo, the only thing I don't dig is the cracked texture being the same on the person as the background, I would've made the two a little more different and done a bit of neat image or noise reduction on the spirit faces. Otherwise a cool pic.

A very emotional and intense image, photographically it isn't fantastic but somehow that works here, it's just an everyday scene, no weird studio or anything, it makes it a little too real man.

You better knock on wood after this challenge, I hope this photo never happens to anyone haha.

A fantastic shot, I dig the lighting, composition as well as clarity and sharpness of it all, I'm not sure if it's just PP but the subject has great makeup (unless it's really a ghost) great setting as well. very nice.

I think this photo is a little too soft focus, It has an element of flatness to it, a stunning photo no doubt, i'm just nitpicking to try to see what may have caused the score. I think maybe another sharpen mask done on this photo, while avoiding the smoothness of the water may have given it a little more crispness that the photo might need. I would have also brought the mid tones down a touch when playing with the levels to brighten the image slightly but retain that overcast atmosphere.

Awesome advice and noted (literally on a sticky note) Thank you!

I had a couple of facial closeups that I decided against simply because I thought the hallway was weird and cool and wanted to showcase a bit. ISO was stupid high haha.

Thanks a lot for the comments!!

I really expected a lot more for this photo. Maybe the thumbnail was too boring or something. I wish people would tell me why.

@Mark, I'm looking for the Halo but maybe it's my monitor, i'm tilting it up and down but I just can't see it. Hmmmm.
