Photo Comp Jan 2013 - "Self"

Post by RiK »

Right then, start of a new year and as I won last month's comp it's my turn to pick. I thought I'd set something with plenty of scope to encourage as many people to take part, so this month's theme is going to be "Self"

It'll be interesting to see how people want to interpret it. There's the obvious option of a self-portrait, or maybe something which says something about who you are, what you do, where you live or something which means a lot to you.

Entries closed. Here's my shortlist.

I really liked that. :D

I'm curious, can you give a before and after of the "touch ups"?

I haven't had much time with the camera lately but just about managed an entry, courtesy of bad trousers and ND filters:

Are Instagram filters classed as your own work? LOL

Liked Meow's shot too, it was a close-run thing with PFVA's but I thought hers was a partcularly on theme with her love of 'strolling' and taking pics..

Good set of pics. I knew I would have got more votes if I had been wearing a thong! :)
