I'm just looking for a couple of comments to help narrow down which "theme" to work on for the self-portrait competition.

Option 1: I would need find a place that doesn't have bird houses sticking out my neck, but you get the idea. I think.

Option 2 and 3: Not very unique, but staying with "The Pupil" Theme...Can this even be consider "self-portraits"? Do you see my cameral in my eye??? :):

Option 4: Funny lookin guy...

    I think the first approach has real potential. thumb.gif Va

    The first would be better if the camera was s lightly higher off of the ground.

    By far, I like the last.

    But in the end I think I'm going to go with ....

    because it really is the most accurate representation of me. No fancy effects, no posing...just a kid with a beard.

    Thanks for the help. Time to submitt and move on.
