Description

This is version two of the "The Visitor". I took Tara's advice and lightened the ghost's flesh parts, but I also flipped the image. I think the composition works better now. You tend to "read" an image in the west from left to right even as you read a document from left to right. In the previous image, the tombstones sort of blocked the flow and the image looked awkward and disjointed. I think it flows better now with your eye hitting the tombstones last instead of first. Anyway that's my opinion. Thanks for your suggestion Tara!

Oh! And I also added an "Oil Paint" filter on parts of it to add a little more atmosphere and to focus your attention on the figure and the tombstones.

Clever stuff!! It is definitely more satisfying, although I wouldn't know where to start to make the image!
