Love the expression you've captured in this. Looks like me in the mirror first thing in the AM. Don't think I've seen this approach before. Seems as though the inset is sharply focused while all else outside the inset is not. (Duh! nothing gets by these sharp old eyes) Only took me 15 minutes of taking my glasses off, trying 2 other pairs and coming close to making an appointment with my eye doctor before it sank in. Anyhow, it's unique to me and works well in this case. It certainly focuses attention on what you wanted ... that glaring eye and look of determination. Nicely done Randy
Now that's an interesting take. Blur the background and put the very sharp focal point in a box and place it back where it belongs in the shot. I like it!
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
