** Greetings from the critique club **

The first thing that stikes me is too juch dead space, particularly along the bottom third of the image.
The second thing is the 'double-exposure effect' - just looks off balanced. The I realized why....the hand is more visible than the upside down head, so at first you notice the hand which would not be in the ocrrect anatomiacal presentation to be shooting a camer. After really searching the image, you notice the head under the camera..
The wrinkles in the shirt are a bit distracting also.
Colors are nice - bright blue on black. And the color of the cap is perfect as it does not over-power the face, but accentuates it. I like the lighting and shadows.
Over all, while this was nto a favorite shot of mine, it was very creative and executed fairly well.

Clever ghostly image. I love the deep blue tones.

Cool illusion. I like the blue shirt against the black background and the thin white border is a nice touch also.

Neat! However, I think there's a bit too much black space at the bottom, I'd get rid of some of it

Nice job of holding the pose for such a long exposure. Interesting cropping, but I find something here a little lacking. Can't put my finger on it, but I don't find my attention drawn to this very much...

I like the way you have used long exposure to create the ilusion.

Lighting is good. I don't know about the double exposure though. It doesn't trick my eye at all.

Very good concept. Nice execution. At first I did not like the bottom 1/3 of dead space, but now, no, I still don't., sorry. The hands decreasing on opacity towards the bottom and continuing after the body ends is a bit strange. Maybe the camera alone? 8

this is such a creepy shot.

I'm not really sure I understand the illusion. The hands and camera are definately not from the boy. Would like to see better focus on the boy.

Very cool shot. Takes a moment to absorb it all, but you did a good job.

the model is blurry. I might like this more if the photographer were not visible and it was just an image of the camera and possibly the hand.

ohhh - took me a while to see that, need a bit more of the photographers head. Good illusion though.

This photo just lacks some body I think! Mwuhahahaha.....It's cool! I would of liked it a little sharper though! Well done!

A little fuzzy focus on the face, but nicely done.
