I find the first one creepiest, I would add some dirt or stains to her clothing maybe in the form of little children hand prints (Blair Witch style). I may even whiten fully her eyes so as to look somewhat possessed. Also feel maybe you could darken everything around the girl a little and lighten her somewhat more (focused vignette) so she doesn't blend so much into the surroundings.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the feed back! How do I add dirt to her clothes? I work in LR but have a free trial of PS right now.

Download Some free grunge texture brushes from deviant art and then add to your presets folder in brushes. Select the brush and size along with the colour you wish to use in this case black. Paint the textures on a separate layer and adjust the opacity and blending modes to get something you like.

Check out phlearn.com they have loads of Photoshop tutorials.

Yes better also download some fog/mist brushes and add a few strokes in the foreground...will create a more eerie atmosphere.

Thanks I will check it out!

ok I will try and figure out how to do it..thanks!

Second that, it's a great resource.

Go with more of a Sepia filter and add some torn parchment effects to it. Like this, except yours will be creepy. Also not quite as yellow as mine.

Or if you like to see people work on your image and show their verions, leave a link to a downloadable larger size image.

Not sure how you did this in LR, but if you didn't use the radial filter, I think it could be beneficial here for your vignette/background darkening - adjust with exposure slider and just check to be sure that the invert mask is not selected. Don't be afraid to move it around and change its shape to see what different effects it has on the image. To me the foreground branches are a little distracting being highlighted like they are. Also, some selective dodging/burning could work here too, I think.

Good luck!

This was my first time in PS (wowa a lot harder then LRops)..I added fog . Thoughts?
