This is some serious photo manipulation...
All right, my sister inspired me to do this. She told me (when I was bitching about a lack of ideas to make into deviations) to put my phantom mask on a piece of black paper and take a picture. Well, I thought about it, and knew the mask alone would not be enough. And then an idea was born... And the product was this image. I took that picture of the mask, and started editing. First, I softened the edges. Then I hunted down a picture of a rose that was a stock image on google, and cropped it out of its background. I placed it as a new layer, mirrored it so it was facing the right way, and proceeded to crop it to my specifications even more. After softening its edges as well, I added the boarders and volia! A new image is born.
All hail the Phantom's final rose.
