About the Image(s)
I've seen many modifications of portraits. They can be used to imply hidden aspects of the subject. I started with an image of a fairie model at the New England Council of Camera Clubs' Amherst conference a couple years ago. It's an interesting character portrait but I wanted to reveal a hidden side. I started with the original image in Photoshop Elements, converted it to black & white, then inverted it to a negative. The b&w negative image was placed over the original as a mask. Using a semi-soft brush, areas of the b&w layer were masked out to reveal the color layer. I did several variations of which this one suited Fairie Dark Side the best.

The ears, are they reflections of a devil's ears?
