May Photo Comp.....Self portrait

I'm finding it hard to choose from a short list of 13, there is one I would like to choose from the 13, but I think iot would conflict with my first entry. So, for my 2nd entry, I'm choosing a reflection piccy.

My 2nd entry is.
DEEPDALE

ah, that DEEPDALE one. I thought that was you again in the background, right. Double exposure or something ...would have been :cool:

Still, nice entries though :)

Cheers Nina, I did have a pic in pic picture umongst my 13, but decided not to enter it, anyway, if you want to see it PRESS HERE
 
Tough voting this month - thanks everyone for such lovely photos. Have to vote now (before thumbs), as I may not have time later/tomorrow.

1. My life in Cards - Kage (really cool interpretation of the theme for me, nice one!)
2. Belly - Skim (what a wicked photo - also a lovely interpretation of the theme, and a really weird insight into what it must be like to have a part of your body take on such an exaggerated significance. Also made me think about pregnancy a lot.)
3. When I was 18 - Iemanja (it really has an atmosphere to it that stayed with me - you look beautiful in it, of course, but it's much more than that. I like the mix of shyness, inquisitive boldness, and power that's suggested by your look in the pic)

I also wanted to choose - 'Alef and Skim', by Alef and Skim; 'Watching the world go by', by riotsky; and 'Brats' by Blackadder.

Thanks again folks.
 
Are we voting yet? The standard of photography and originality of ideas here seems to get better every month.


1. Entry 1 - Rollem

2. watching the world go by - riot sky

3. footloose - sovietpop
 
I want to wait untill I've seen all the thumb nails together, before I vote...
Wish I could sort this out for everyone, but dont know how.

Boskycoiffure – for the man who doesn't have to try too hard.
 
some top results

1] belly - skim
I like the sense of height and it almost feels as though you're leaning back, I also like the sepia tint. It works well with this photo, given it a bit warmth.

2] my life in cards - kage

Not a terribly good photograph in its self but a very good and thought out interpretation - little bit jealous that I didn't think of this first as I have loads of ID cards :D

3] bare - auroa green

Not quite sure why I like this one, I think it is the expression, and the slightly uncomfortable way you're standing - it makes you look at you, other than the fact you appear to be naked.

Other mentions:

squelch - three monkeys, again a nice idea: not helped the fact you do make a good monkey :)

blackadder - camera and I - one of the few ones taken with a camera in shot that didn't have it held over the face. Like the way you're looking at the camera.

Goodstuff as per usual :)

p.s on a side note, I love this portrait of Sarah Lucas.

Ok, I'm voting for:

1. Kage: My life in cards
This is a wicked interpretation of the theme, I really like it.

2. Aurora Green: Bare
Well-lit and one of the most honest of the entries... no hiding faces or subterfuge.

3. Nina: Macros
Lovely colours... nice eye make-up! It would have been perfect if you'd been looking into the camera :)

Is somebody doing the thumbs before voting starts?

There are a lot missing from there.

Yeah, me, but I forgot :oops:

Can't really do it at work, but I'l make sure everything is up to date when I get home later.

Apologies to the entries not currently there.
 
1. Belly - Skim. Just love this for lots of reasons.
2. untitled - Nina. Atmospheric.
3. My life in cards - kage. Nice idea.
 
In The end there were a lot of good photos this month.

My choices are:

1) Untitled - Nina; I think it was the most classic of the self portraits (along with aurora green's) and I like the shadows.

2) Cat and i in shop window - Soviet Pop; Your other two shots are technically superb but this made me smile and I like the way you have the cat looking down at you, with a distainful look - proper cat.

3) My Life in Cards - Kage; Really great idea - gives a real insight into your life - I reckon I know more about you now than anyone else on U75!?

Like normal I have to mention the ones I would have voted for if I had more votes - Watching the world go by is really in Riot Sky style and its wicked. All of Guerilla Photo's (only reason they didn't get a vote was that they were more about the scene and not the portrait), Alef & Skim, and me# 2 by Vintage Paw.
