This was an attempt to minimize blemishes in the iPad photo, the man's skin, and the lighting by applying a small amount of paint effect to cover over pixilation and harsh constrastiness, and then using a cloning tool to remove or tone down some distracting details. The iPad apps used were mostly iPhoto and ArtStudio. As a photo, it is still poor quality, but as a portrait catching a fairly natural expression, remaining perhaps more a photo than a painting, it might be okay.
