This weeks’ topic was chosen by you guys, and it’s SELF PORTRAIT

Submissions will not be accepted after Sunday March 14th @ 11:59pm.

Guidelines:
-you now have TWO full weeks to think about and take your photo
-you may post 1 PHOTO ONLY
-if your photo strays from the topic, explain why
-no hating other people's photos, constructive criticism only (and welcomed! I never see any)
-we will have a voting thread to determine top 5, then we will vote again to find the winner
-post your own photos
-click on embedded photos before judging, NS drains the color from them
-winner chooses the next topic
-you cannot win 2 times in a row, you can win twice, just not in a row

Good luck!!!

me in the photo room for the lulz. i'll probably get a better one if that's okay. i still kinda think this one is hilarious though.

my topic ftw!!! now, i should probably do you the justice of shooting something specific and not photo-pulling. Super stoked to see what everyone looks like and can come up with.

Part of the guidelines. If you're going to be a jerk, stay away from these contest threads.

it is if he a) had the camera on a tripod with a self-timer or b) established the composition and exposure himself and merely had someone else press the button

I disagree. If he set up the composition and the exposure and the lighting then it's his photo, not his brothers. When I worked in a photo studio I regular hit the shutter release but the photos were by no means my own.

If this doesnt work let me know, Im happy to try again

I think this fits the catagory because it purposefully shows me doing my 2 favorite things, and I shot it with the other person taking up the frame because I liked the fisheye effect of his eg2s

I do not consider this to be a self portrait. A portrait is of a person. If the contest was "Yourself" I could definitely see this because some people would submit a portrait and some would submit something like this but it specifically says "Self Portrait". There are plenty of other subjects. I think we're getting too lax in the interpretation.
