This case actually seems even simpler though. There was a leaf in the foreground obscuring the face from the camera's perspective. Distortion doesn't quite enter into it.

They're not talking about the obscuring itself, but the focal compression effect which makes it look a lot like the leaf is where the head should be, rather than clearly being in front of said head.

Though the aggressive denoising and small lens probably doesn't help.

I think it's mostly this. The photograph is incredibly noisy, very difficult to tell what's going on.
