Whatchootalkin'bout, Willis??!! I plan to ~~drool over~~ carefully study both!

And Surf, I don't see any reason why it can't be a self-portrait :)

The challenge specs do not state that it must be human.

The voters on the other hand . . .

Well... by definition:

But... you left out the REST of the definition...

and even more technical we should define what the genders are right!?

Let's see if I understand this, a picture of a transexual's backside would warrant a DNMC.

*LMAO* I dunno if the transexual has the female/male parts and is entered into one of the challenges and there is a mirror infront of the face showing the face it may pass!? hehe ;)

there ain't enough of them nowadays.

I think it would be even better with minimal, we see so many portraits in every challenge anyway.

Hmm, if that is the definition of portrait, I guess the following are out:
- male and female plugs/cords
- mail

Hmmm...I thought for sure there would be more female portraits than male portraits. Currently the number of entries is about equal.

Just for the record: If you do a pet portrait I am going to beat you. I would beat you with a stick but your pet ran away with it. Likely, I will have to resort to giving out low scores instead.
