Distortion

After hanging my painting of James Franco up on the wall, I compared the way it looked to the photograph on my monitor. The first picture is what was on my monitor. The second picture is a re-take of the photograph as it looks hanging on the wall in natural light. His face (too wide), along with the color (too washed out) is quite distorted in the first picture. I replaced the pic in my last post with the undistorted pic, but thought I'd post this for demonstration purposes regarding photographic distortions.
      
I'm off now, to get ready to leave town for the rest of the weekend. Until next time, take care!
