Ghost in the Pumpkin (ala Jack in the Box)

[Judy Howle]

My friend and I went out to shoot some fall color today and we saw this animated display, the ghost rose up out of the pumpkin. I turned it into a Halloween card. I first used Pixel Bender, then Topaz Adjust. I painted out the house in the background and added some adornments with the paint brush.

This is very cool, Judy. I like the the ghost and the smile. The sidelight works well here. Nicely processed. Happy Halloween!

Hey, Judy, this is a great Halloween image. I especially like the adornments you added

[Dennis Bishop]

Nicely composed and very festive. I agree with Indranil about the sidelighting. The adornments were definitely a good addition, but I think I might've put parts of some of them behind the animated figures. The combination of lines and points of light is very effective.

Hi Judy..........

good comments above.................happy Halloween.

Hi Judy...nicely done...you did a good job with the processing. It might have been neat to try a slow shutter speed on this one as well...capturing the animated blur and adding a ghostly sense to it...this makes a great Halloween card!

[Judy Howle]

Thanks for the comments everyone! Unfortunately I don't have time for a re-do of the image but I appreciate the suggestions from Dennis and John.

[Judy Howle]

Thanks Andrew! My sis and I had a great visit! I have quite a few images made on our outings and after she left that I am just now working on and I will post some here.
