The dictionary definition: A portrait is a painting, photograph, sculpture, or other artistic representation of a person, in which the face and its expression is predominant. So a self portrait is self explanatory. The key is the face to be predominant. That seems simple enough to me to understand and its narrow enough in its meaning to make it a challenge to come up with something different. I guess though that when there are challenges like these that people will interpret the theme any way that suits them and they will submit whatever they feel like submitting. Ive been seeing this for so long now I just got fed up and thought I should say something. But I should also know better than to try to say anything at all. My condolences to those who submitted really good self portraits and received few or no votes at all. In particular 3, 7, 14, 20, 22, 25, 26, 29, 37, 40, 42, and 46.
