Background Removal.

This is the image I used on my contents page. I have played around with it in Paint.net to see if I could get the background cut out and as you can see I did. I also used different effects and mixed them together to make his face look more sinister. I haven't decided whether or not to keep the background but I will most like use this one without the background as it shows the person in the image on his own.

I used various rectangle sizes to delete the main parts of the image then I used a rubber to get the finer parts. I could zoom in and out to get rid of specific pixels.
