This was pretty hard for me. It was hard to get distortion on my face as well as to work with my camera to get it to do so. It seemed to be easier when I used another subject as the focus.

the portrait taken of you from very close should show more distortion and the one far away should show better facial geometry. I don’t see this in your examples.
In the second two shots, the idea is that wide angle distortion changes scale relationships so you need something close and something far to compare in the photo.
