All these pointy edges are too scary 
so I tried a different approach. 40 years ago the government of Israel issued a bill with the sharpest man ever.
As with my last pic, this one was also taken with a TS macro lens. I feel like a kid in a candy store.
Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Nice shot Yakim. I just wish he made math easier for me to understand. haha
The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, that works for me;o).
Peace in Israel and around the world.

Very cool shot Yakim. I have done a few fine art pieces featuring Mr. Einstein, but I never understood the rest of him. Nice shot, I like the TS treatment. Good luck this week.

Einstein's math is very simple: E = MC Errrrr..... something...... 
Thanks for the encouraging comments.

Just a tidbit....Einstein did poorly in math in his younger days. He was so gifted that hea got bored in school and didn't do well on tests. His teachers thought that he was dumb.
So....someitmes it takes passion to express your talents!
Very crisp shot.

An out of the ordinary interpretation - well done.
Every time I saw his image when I was much younger, I used to think he ought to get a haircut. Sharp scissors required.

BTW, the haircut issue reminds me of an urban legend that I heard of him. He allegedly had several identical shirts, jackets, pants and shoes in his closet. Reason: He did not want to waste time on trivial things.
I'm glad you liked my interpretation of the WA.
Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Sharp man indeed. One of the best.
I like the line of focus from his left eye through nose. It holds my attention right on his eye. Awesome DOF.
Anyone know a cheap way into tilt-shift? It seems like all TS lenses are X-pen-sive.

Yep. Just one more contribution the Jews made to the world....

Exactly what I was aiming at. Indeed it has a funky DoF. That's why it's so fun.

Alas, there's no way I know to get cheap TS. The cheapest I know are shift (not tilt) Zuiko lenses. My choice was a M645 120/4 with Mirex TS adapter. While the 120/4 is not expensive (got a mint one for 350$ from Adorama), the 80/4 is a bit cheaper. This FL is more comfortable on APS cameras but it only gets to 1:2 while the 120/4 gets to 1:1.
Best way is to post a question in the Alternative forum. There are some very knowledgeable men there and Jim (jcolwell) simply never ceases to amaze me.
