Somebody may have taken his pictures from varying angles a few seconds apart, while Chia Head is assuming the same posture. That could explain a minute change in his appearance between the two photos (such as slightly different wrinkles on his clothing and minute change of posture.)
granted, but in the first picture, the "dear leader" is facing a point of interest directly in front of him. in the second, he looks slightly off to the left.
while i agree simplistic camera effects could be utilized to create this effect, i doubt it.
there don't seem to be any other defects in the pictures (given a rapid going over).
the wrinkle effects are taken from one side (l&r respectively), and have nothing to do with each other, imo.
