CHANGE: An original woodland-witch Halloween costume portrait. Eerie, mysterious, atmospheric Halloween mood. A textured moss-green wool cloak with its hood resting on the shoulders, away from the face, a dark linen tunic, a plain leather belt and small bundles of dried herbs tied with twine at the waist. Keep the original hairstyle. No pointed hat and no franchise emblem. SCENE AND LIGHT: A huge hollow oak at midnight in a misty forest: carved jack-o'-lanterns glowing between its roots, thick cobwebs across the dark hollow, an iron cauldron on the moss and fallen orange oak leaves on the ground. A faint translucent ghost stands small and far behind, between two trees. Low fog drifts along the ground. Cold blue moonlight as a rim light from behind, warm orange lantern glow on the face from below. Deep shadows between the trees. Palette: moss green, pumpkin orange, sepia brown and deep night blue. PHOTOGRAPHY: A hand-tinted 1920s spirit photograph: sepia base with soft hand-coloured green and orange, fine grain, soft vignette, a faint double-exposure ghosting.

No other people in the background at all. Avoid: changed face or identity, changed skin or eye colour, age change, extra or missing limbs or fingers, a second person, any other person in the background, letters or numbers on clothing, text, logos, watermarks, blood, gore.
