Hi there, Bear_Music

When I first joined DPC, it seemed that people were voting in response to the photo, in the context of the challenge. After a while I realized that people are voting in defense of their point of view, sometimes in defense of their own photograph. How could it be otherwise. we are only human, after all. Photography is dangerous ground for an open, questioning mind. The overwhelming technical nature of photography attracts the documentary, objective, literal mind--the kind of mind that has only one interpretation of Self Portrait.

Yours is an un-DQ-able photo that is artistically & technically excellent. It challenged the concept of Self Portrait for those who were open to the thought. You wrote an excellent defense of your point of view. Mission accomplished. Keep on clickin'!
