This contest is open to photographers ranked between 1 and 250 in this week’s Leaderboard.
Turning the camera on oneself can be a challenge for the photographer, mired as it is in questions of self-image, ego, and one's public persona, with technical challenges thrown in for good measure. But it's a practise that serious artists have undertaken for many centuries, and one that doubtless rewards when time, effort and thought are applied to it.
Ranked Contests are a weekly chance to compete alongside photographers of a similar Leaderboard ranking. Three contests with the same theme run at one time - for photographers ranked 1-250; 251-1000; and 1001+. They open Saturday morning after that week’s leaderboard has been updated, and are open for 5 days. They are Premium Contests, Expert-judged, but with no Crowd vote, so are worth 3x the standard ranking points.
This contest is expert judged only with no rating by the crowd. You will be able to find out how you did when the judging or rating period has closed.
