OK, I voted. Yeah - 51 is a lot!

I had 6 'finalists' to choose from, which I narrowed down to 2... Picking one of those was hard.

For everyone who gets lost in the gallery, here is an alternative gallery with the same pictures:

(I did not use the biggest size for the pictures because those don't always fit in the screen. So if you want to see a picture as big as possible, go here)

Thanks NielsSw that works fine.

Thank you NielsSw! I don't know why the photo contests are not done that way to begin with. The Photo Forum needs a decent home page (besides the forum) where various projects can be posted.

Thanks very much, this gallery is perfect! I cast my vote!

I would love a system where we vote on every image and rate them 1-10, person with the highest average wins, that's how it is on my other site. That way, everyone gets feedback on their image. I'm not sure how hard that would be to implement though, I know less than nothing about web design...

There are some GREAT photos. The thing is that on lots of them it´s almost impossible to say if they where "self portrait" or "simple portrait"...

Thank you for this much simpler way to look at the photos!!!

Thanks, Ralph

I agree, however, I believe you need to give the participants the benefit of the doubt and assume all entries are a self-portrait, after all, that WAS the challenge.

Thanks, Ralph

I think the judges or whoever is in charge of deciding which pics get posted for judging should weed out the pics which dont even come close to being what was asked for. There is a definition of a portrait and if the entry doesnt meet that definition then it should be tossed out and the submitter informed so they can get a chance to do what was asked for. I must say that I include myself amongst those whose pic should have been tossed since it doesnt exactly meet the definition. I see 23 entries which just dont make it as a portrait and another 3 or 4 which are questionable. But there they are.

Just don't vote for the ones that you don't feel cut it. If everybody else does the same, the 'best' picture will win.

I didn't submit a photo this month, but I did vote - I thought the competition was pretty stiff. Lots of good, solid entries.

Your absolutely right Josh if it doesnt turn into a popularity contest. But I scratch my head wondering what people are thinking of when they are asked to shoot a pic of a banana and they submit a picture of an apple. Even if its a gorgeous most perfect apple, its still an apple and NOT A BANANA.
