I Am My Work -- the Thorn that Weeps, & Holds the Sky Entire...

Representing yourself as how you see rather than how you perceive yourself to physically be seen is certainly a valid self portrait idea. This self-portrait, to me, surely illustrates that what we choose to represent in a work of art, is or can be perceived as a reflection of ourselves. It is a primary and relevant idea, undoubtedly in a generic way done every week in any challenge. This photo is nice, but the question "does it meet the challenge" is entirely up to the voter. It is a shame that this fine picture was voted so low and so much weight given to an absolute definition.

A striking profile, in repose - but not resting.. Appears an awkward position, but composition really works. Beautiful simplicity.

An informal portrait with some essential formal design. Composition & cropping is respectable. The sepia is a good choice , it generalizes, subdues and mutes the unnecessary. I admire the pitch black blended background/ shirt integrated as design element.

This dpc icon has a staying power that is remarkable. My first impression of it during the vote (I gave it a 5) was that it was set up using a format from a Popular Photography magazine "how to" project circa 1965. I still have that impression of it when I look at it and (to it's credit) the many spin-offs it has fostered on this site. What I like in this image aside from the quality of technique is the 60's pop-op genre it seems to fit into. The colour of it - I always thought was over done, looked at in b&w or sepia, the soul of this composition shines.
