What a stunning piece of art!
A picture of a girl drowning in the water, under a some sort of cloth, it seems. The title is justified, as the picture has a ghostly atmosphere and powerful emotions coming out of it.

To begin, the colours here add to the spooky atmosphere quite a lot. The cold blue and the rays of white/pinkish along it create the impression of waves, like a storm sea in which the girl is drowning in. I love how the tones sway from dark to light and get interrupted by the white amidst. The model's expression is painful but serene, she looks as if she's trying to sleep. I love the bubbles on her mouth and face, and the timing of the photo. The positioning of the camera is something else, I feel that it' the perfect POV for this photo, as it goe well with lighting and the focus applied. As for the lighting, it's impressive. Half of her face is lit and the other half is in the shadow. The pressure on her forehead stressed her brows, which, together with the lighting and shades on her skin, create more tension and contrast between the two feelings emitted; agony and calmness.
I find the smooth white line in the middle of it just a little bit disturbing, as well as the dark mark on her cheek. Lastly, the lower part of the image is the poorest place, as it's very simple and dark and that's the reason why it kind of draws the eye there.Small details compare to this great artwork.

Overall, an incredible artwork featuring a "ghost", drenched in blue hues. A beautiful concept, well excecuted and of top quality.
