A person with two personalities is bearable, but two ghosts?

Mr. Quiet

I was playing around with exposure and editing today, and this is what I came up with.

Which one is better, if either of them are even worth looking at?

CRITIQUE

I know the edge of the cabinet is distracting. I will fix it if the photo is worth it. Does the eyes open thing work or not?



The fading ghost with a small smirk???

CRITIQUE

Roadkill

I like the second one better and I like what where you're going with the shot.

Can you share with us how you set up the shot?

Sure thing

The lighting was just a yellow overhead light. I used my 50mm 1.8 at f11, with a fifteen second exposure and a five second timer. I focused on the pillow, pressed the shutter, got in that position and counted 11 seconds then sprang up and out of the frame for the remainder of the exposure.

Does this help you guys at all?
