How about this?
I gave the one negative spotlight the shadowless keyword.
I don't understand why it is behaving like a point light and not 
projecting a cone of negative light. :-(

Nice effect, this is the first time I see negative shadows.

It's a known isue. Any spotlight with the shadowless attribute become an 
ordinary light. I thing that the cylindrical light also display that 
problem.
Don't ask me why.

It should be noted that shadowless also disable highlights and photons 
shooting for that light. That is documented.

I'm thinking about a double exposure. It would be cool to have the black 
floor but not on her (especially the wing).

No, although I like that floor.

In the original, I love the way the negative spotlights darken the floor 
around her legs and feather off . Like a blast of black spray paint. But 
the -spotlights don't do much for her herself.

So do I. It gives it a burned, ancient look. I think.

That's what I've been trying to get rid of. ;-)
It does look dramatic, though. The effect would add another dimension to 
Mark Slone's December 2002 IRTC entry, "Innocent Shadow".

I agree, it was just the last scene I had been working on. It was 
already set up.
