I always heard you did that to avoid evil spirits because that way they won't recognize you.

Looks more like a fairy to me :-)
Interesting superstition and I appreciate the effort of the props, but I don't care for the postprocessing. Somehow the sepia just doesn't seem right to me. Perhaps I'm looking for a more sinister, b+w white look.......

Maybe this is the point, but I really see her as more of a fairy than a witch...

I think the colour is a bit offputting - I'd prefer it as fully b&w or as colour - the pinky tinge is a bit strange.

Is that a witch or fairy? Nice picture though. 6

This is definately a little bit creepy.
Sharpness seems to be a little bit off, and I'm not sure I like the colors in this pic.

Don't care for the colour of this. or tone if you may say. and the title doesn't do anything for the image. Maybe if you showed someone wearing cloths inside out and walking backwards with a jacolantern in the background, and the witch 'apearing' somewhere it would work. Otherwise it doesn't work for me.

It leans too heavily on the title. How am I supposed to get all that out of the photo?
