April Fool's Day Self Portrait

This was just an exercise, and maybe it was the cold medication,
or maybe I'm just too old to have a steady hand, but try as I might,
I couldn't get the black parts really smooth. Using the eraser tool
is not the answer. There must be a selection technique that I don't
know about that can smooth (and yes, I tried the "smooth" tool) out
a selection. I finally gave up, and posted what you see here.

I see a white vase in this shot - why is this a SP? All I see is the white vase on a black background. ;-)

Classic. Try gaussian blur to smooth it.

LOl, I don't see the vase unless I squint, and it KNOW it's there. Clever. And well done.

Gosh all I see is a white vase! Are you in there man? Good job despite your complaints.

SP? What are you talking about? That's a vase, fool-ish man.
