Rob, I've said it before, but I like to repeat now that you're the master of manipulations (manipulations in an artist way, lol!!!). The well selected frame creates an optical illusion. It makes (at first impression) that one is thinking that your (self?)portrait is distorted in both horizontal and vertical way. To fool us again is done perfectly! Excellent work, my friend.

Great job with the photo and wonderful textures in image, Rob. You did a great job framing the fellow. I'm sure the charges will stand up in any court.
