That comparison picture is good, but Hypo/Ghost ball pythons have a glow in the yellow/orange part of the pattern that just doesn't show up in photographs, ever.
Really good photos will show how faded the black actually is, but most "point & shoot" cameras try to compensate for the faded black and jack the contrast up so that the black looks normal. Same goes for digital SLR cameras when used in the Auto setting.
If you've never seen a ghost in person, you really should...they're probably the most underrated color mutation out there (IMO). Most non-snake people who look through my ball pythons are extremely impressed by my female orange ghost...and then they look at a Clown and go "Oh, that one's pretty neat too". lol
