how do you achieve that affect/effect? (haha i can't spell)

I'm not sure what effect you mean, but what I did was:
- Cut Sharpe out of the original pic and re-size.
- Lighten and sharpen by using screen, overlay and contrast effects.
- Smudge face to your liking.
- Desaturate almost completely (ca 90%)
- Put face in front of white layer (just fill with white colour)
- Put in some VERY light gray shades by filling layer and using smudge tool.
- Top layer is filled with orange/brown colour and set to soft light. Desaturate to your liking.
The border brush is just a 1 pixel border adjusted to the wanted size.
That's about it. :)

Well...the border is two pixels, come to think of it.
