This one was taken by my wife, but it was a good opportunity to play around more with my latest technique, especially to obliterate the background and convert it into something that adds rather than detracts from the image.
The beard was tricky as it was important not to lose the effect of the hairs, while the skin and sunglasses could be really pushed around.
Faces need special treatment, so that they retain their believability, while inanimate objects can be pushed around without the eye getting to worried. It is rather like life - people need more respect than inanimate objects or ideas. The trouble is that for many people this is not true, there is only themselves and everything else; however, they highly object to someone else including them in the 'everything else'.
