Great PS effect. Great expression. I agree with Rich's comment: No shaving cream... Ouch! :)

Thanks for the "beautiful image" part of the comment, Shu. (and for the "not the face" part... :P :S )

Thanks jstrong. The reason is, i used red+green channel for areas around eyes and only red channel for the rest of the photo. -Abstract

Very creative - it really looks like a pencil drawing, yet the eyes do not. Very good.

Thanks for comments, Andy. -Abstract
if you like high contrast treatment to photos, you must watch movie "PI: faith in chaos".

I'm a big fan of high contrast shots. This has been expertly processed. Nice one.

Thank you Rich and Paul. -Abstract

Yes, another in agreement here, excellent shot. With the look in your eyes i'd almost imagine a cut-throat razor in your hands.

I'm in agreement with the others its a neat shot, but OUCH! :-) Rich
