About	This was edited in PSP to blow out sections of the face but leave some shadowing for detail and to really bring out the bright blue color of my son's eyes. Thanks to Stace for teaching me this effect in PSP!!

First duplicate your background layer, change it to greyscale and adjust the brightness and contrast until you have the desired result. Use the eraser tool to erase the iris and pupil of the eye on the top layer. Merge your layers and you're done! Pretty easy technique actually. Playing around with the brightness and contrast takes the most time but after a while you'll find settings that work for most of your pictures (depending on lighting).
