Great atmosphere in the Sighisoara medieval graveyard: the church bell was ringing and the light was so soft.

I think overall this is very well done.

The black and white adds to the composition and creepy-nice atmosphere and the setting is very well chosen. The way the lighting comes from the back combined with the mist/fog surrounding the area as well as the light-shadow play with the surroundings gives this a brilliantly-intense atmosphere.

Covering the model in this transparent material, keeping her mostly in the shadows does give the impression of a supernatural apparition, especially considering the headstones nearby. This certainly is how one would expect to see a spirit/ghost if one were to imagine something like that.

As far as the pose is concerned it certainly does convey a feeling of a soul trying to free itself from the boundaries of its worldly ties, breaking free of the limitations of material existence. Combined with the overall setting this is a very powerful piece and I thoroughly enjoy the details within very much.
