"Screened"
Marty I reckon you seriously kicked some butt this time mate, top selection of images which made it difficult
for me to choose.

The use of light and the ghostly image of you behind the screen brings with a look of seriousness imparts a
sense of intrusion which all comes together nicely. Marked you down on the torch lines

Other image notes:

Anarchy Reins - top shot perhaps just the head at the top - interesting concept
Tramp handled1 - Should have been titled "Thing" like in the Adams family - not much Wow factor
Saying Prayers - Some movement at the bed could of been minimised - colour good "creepyness" imparted.
Plumeinator - Gotta love those fire moths up there bro - Ginger painted nicely
Oracle - I like this shot and keep looking at it - Do you have a moe? the attention to the eyes grabs me - feels
dreamy
The Dish - I appreciate your Seti outpost is up, the light on this is superb however it looks like most of the
ambient light from your house has painted the subject the most? Great texture and movement in this shot
bro

My second pick would be
Anarchy Reins then Oracle (or visa versa not sure?)

2. Casper – Cropped, contrast adjusted (Trippy attempt down in my parents backyard) – was
rather pissed doing this and fell down the hill!

filling in the entire garden but missing it with my high viewpoint and remote firing!)

"Casper"
"Séance"
"Fire Garden Girl"
Martin's Pick - score and comments    

"Casper"

Casper  takes it for me for a number of reasons. Firstly, the
way you managed not to overlap subjects is commendable
and would have taken some planning. Secondly for the
consistant use of the lighting source. And thirdly (most
importantly) because you were pissed and fell down the hill. I
would have liked to have seen one subject in the near
foreground - out of proportion to the others to create some
more interest. It looks as though you may have used a
decent torch bra, maybe a quick spray up into the tree
canopy may have added some dazzle. I like it. I wish I was
there to witness the capture.

Other Images:

Seance1
- The ouja board or pentacle effect looks great as
do the colours. Cropping (or not) to the right and bottom of
the image lets it down.

Fire garden girl - I nearly chose this shot because you have a
fine ass in it, but my professionalism got the better of me. On
top of a ladder were ya? Great exposure and good use of
your assistant
