Joint Congrats to Tinnie and Hedgehog, 2 great portraits among a veritable sea of great portraits.

I couldn't vote this week, actually I mean I couldn't choose to vote. I know that sounds a bit lame, but there really were such a lot of good ones to choose from. Well done all.

Cheers, Sie

Would've loved to see you Sie! I know you're a private person, but couldn't you have donned a disguise, and show us just part of you? The eyes, nose, hair or pate, or maybe just an ear?

Well done to TwinnieE and Hedgehog on two great entries and a well deserved joint win, my vote went to TwinnieE's as it was a superb clean uplifting shot that just jumped out at me.

I thought everyone did a great job this week and a good number of entries as well which I think is outstanding, after all it is easier behind the camera.

Thanks for the votes DigiDiva, highlandscenics and TwinnieE, thanks for the comments TwinnieE, Reinardinia and Charlie. Charlie I know what you are saying and I did put the back in but it to me looked better as it was submitted maybe down to my PPing.

Up - DigiDiva Tormented Souls

Well how do I say this errrrrm it was a cracking shot girl I loved it but it scared the cr*p out of me I ran out of the room screaming like a girl! Well not quite but it was spot on, great texture, great exposure, great lighting the only thing I do wonder is if it would have worked even better with a dark background but hey it worked just great so well done.

Down - TwinnieE - Howdy!

Great job got my vote nuff said

And finally thanks to Dan for giving us this theme, I know others have thought about doing it

Got my thinking cap on for the next challenge.

Congrats on the win TwinnieE and Hedgehog, great joint win.

Was tough going, vote wise.....but I went for Daves' (Wavemachine) as it made me laugh and was an orignal take on the theme.

Couldn't find fault with any of the entries so that makes my ups and downs easy!!.....Great efforts from everyone.

In hinsight, I should've left mine un-polarised....but hey ho, thats the way it goes......

My vote went to TwinniE but it was very close, hedgehog being my second choice. I loved the high Key approach and I loved hedgehogs sketch and pp.

Up Hedgehog Drawing a Self Portrait: great idea and nicely PS ed.

Down Pea24 Halfed baked: great photo the lighting and focus spot on, but the girls wanted to see you in all your splendour, hence no votes (there so fickle) lol
