Color Adjustment and Adjusted Posterization

Chris Flanagan in Goggles - 2005

When Chris Flanagan sent me an image that he had taken of himself wearing these goggles with a wide eyed expression, I couldn't help myself. I turned him green to intensify the contrast with his red shirt, and played around with threshold filters and alpha channel masks.

But I tried to keep his eyes close to their incredible natural blue while matching the poster look of the rest of the image.
