At first I wasn't sure if this shot was ready, I still might attempt one more take. However, I like the concept and like the way it ended up. Done in one exposure, no clone or multiple shot layering. Some post-processing on the color and contrast only.

Let me know what you think,
Chad

Very creative and well done. I really like it. Can you share how you did it?

Hi Chad,

Great concept and excellent execution. This is a wonderful shot. Good luck this week.

Beautiful and intriguing. You have a real gift with warm and powerful lighting. I wonder if the far right chin is a tiny bit hot - my eye is really dragged there -although, on second thought, maybe that is brilliance of the "movement." I envy your creative skills and exquisite execution -amy

Absolutely top notch Chad, very thought provoking.

Hi Chad
Very clever and who needs photoshop if you can achieve this !
Take care

Here's the set-up. The only lights I used were the two candles and a pocket mag-lite. Aperature at f/16, exposure at 10s. Used the flashlight to underlight my face. The trick was hitting my marks as I moved through the dark hallway. I hardened the contrast and desaturated my "ghost" in PS. That's it

Not a perfect shot, but I enjoyed trying it and as I did more takes I realized I was just obsessing again.

Thanks for all your C&C,
Chad

Hi Chad! This one is stunning! Wonderfully conceived, and captured....excellent fluid movement, and the lighting is excellent. I think it's a brilliant image, my friend!

A fine creation, I like this a lot (despite the mild spookiness... )

Wild! and spooky... Good Luck!

Chad... I like this capture! I wonder if the faces to the left cropped out would make this a stronger image though... Thought provoking and well done.

Chad, Very creative! I like how there is also a reflection of your face in the mirror on the wall.
Good job!

Man, I wish I'd gone through this last night before the deadline I think you're right about the crop. Oh well, live and learn.

Thanks for the C&C,
Chad
