I wish I could enter more info on this -- but I'm on pain meds and just had wisdom teeth removed. I'm up vertical for 15 minutes while I enter a headline shot with my camera phone 3 days ago.

When it scores a 4.8 I have a built in excuse. :)

This is taken at a wonderful cemetery - Hollywood cemetery in Richmond, VA. Incredible place. Truly incredible place.

My biggest mistake on this shot was not using my daughter to make the "ghost". I used one of the statues in the cemetery. I'll post more tomorrow (or thursday) if anyone cares. It was a gorgeous carving of an angel.

The name de Winter is from the Rebecca, and was created in photoshop. I don't remember the original name on the crypt in my drug induced fog.

ack -- gotta go lay down.

Thanks for the wonderful comments.

More about Rebecca and why I chose that. (tomorrow or thursday -- if anyone really cares. :)

g'nite!

A very evocative, and well put together image. In one of those coincidences of timing I was just thinking about Rebecca yesterday. 9 - top 5.

Brrr, that gave me goose bumps - awesome movie, and this certainly triggers emotions. Good title, too.
I don't care for the yellow cast - would prefer to see this more blue or pure b&w.

What's the story with that location - is the "de Winter" photoshopped or for real? Please tell us more.
