Like this a lot. Very clever; you've got to pass on the recipe.

@Luis A. De Jesus R.: I didn't do anything special here, Luis! I just printed an earlier portrait of my daughter on an 8.5 by 11 inch piece of photo paper and then laid it on top of her face like a mask. Check out the rest of the series coming up in the next couple days. Thanks for stopping in ;0)
