this was my entry for last week's 52 frames theme of 'distortion'. apart from the CPL lens with the wiped off vaseline, i also used a sheet of bubble wrap for that more distorted look.
the distorted image resulted in the mask looking more eerie and almost alien-esque. the eyes certainly looked real staring at you and its distorted cupid bow lips giving a pursed look. it's rather disconcerting to look at, don't you think?
