Looks like you got a lot of good comments here. I wasn't sure about the white vignette but I can see how it might represent the white light of the afterlife. Interesting and thought provoking!

not a new subject at all. the motion blur works well here, but the color, the vignette, and the border are pretty distracting

I am completely and totally floored that this hasn't been done before. I wanted to do my nightmare shot in a cemetery, but my husband was already thinking it was creepy, so I just did it inside the house instead.

I just searched through ghost, cemetery and graveyard shots and couldn't find a one! Good thinking -- and good noticing that it hadn't been done! (and cool shot as well -- I like the horizon tilt).

Good luck!

I like the motion blur and the vignetting but the figure is almost too distorted.

Too grainy and little contrast. Looks like old school film though, which I give you a 7 for.

Creepy, but well done. I like how the cross is highlighted by the hole in the foliage. (not voting)

Ethereal, Spooky, and Lovely all at once.

either this needed to be tilted more or straightened...

The white area behing the cross is great for the overall effect. The attention goes to the cross, and the child ghost becomes more subtle... Nice work

The reason I'm not voting in this challenge is because of images like this and probably my incorrect take on the challenge title/description. I like this type of photography and have seen the same 'style' here before.

I like the composition, jaunty angle, viewers angle and perfectly placed 'character'. I also like the overall treatment though a little more black might have helped imho.

As I said, I'm not voting. If this where(say)a free study I'd be on the 7 button but in this challenge probably a 5.
