do ghosts look blurry, when not moving? i'm not sure… ; ) i thought they looked blurry simply because they are constantly in motion – the beyond is a fickle and capricious place: linger, and you're doomed! ; )) i love the gothic feel to the place your captured. about the blur i'm not sure. the lonely figure does look like a ghost, and part of that is probably due to the blur, and yet it's also rooted in the strangeness of dimensions and proportion: she appears so very small, literally dwarfed by sorrow and the giant vault… and i do like the metaphorical idea of a "the ghost of sorrow" which not only haunts you but also makes you want to hunch up… ; ) greetings, sabine. p.s.: i just did a little googling and and found an interesting genre called "spirit photography". didn't even know it existed! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirit_photography
Well done for stepping out of your comfort zone. The experiment has worked well.......perhaps a little more blurr would render that person even mor ghost-like.

Breathtaking! Fantastic shot. I also love to photograph at cemetaries. There is some kind of magic in it.Silvana W. 16/12/2012 17:39

A really moody and atmospheric image which appeals to me very much. I cannot complain about the blurring, as it looks good to me.best wishes,

Nothing to complain about. If it was sharp we would ask ouselves what's the connection between the tomb and the person. I like it this way.
