Hi All,

I am delighted to announce submissions and the winner of our 2nd competition for April. We have received more entries than I anticipated for our little group.
I was expecting a few people to be camera shy, but fair play to you all for sending in your photos. You all have came out from behind the curtain and embraced the self portrait.

On top, I was very happy to see some really excellent submissions by a few individuals who have done an outstanding job and have surprised me. I appreciate everyone taking the time to put something decent together and send it in. Photography can be a great way to break your barriers, whether that’s reaching out to others, or discovering yourself and I think a few of you have done this beyond 100%.

Hopefully, some of the top entries will help you understand the difference between a self-portrait and a selfie. Selfie is usually something you take quickly before a night out, whereas self-portrait is usually a picture of you, but more importantly, your own expression of who you are.

As per previous competition, I have divided all submissions into Tier 1, 2 and 3. Tier 1 represents the best photographic submissions followed by Tier 2 and 3.

On a little side note to ensure we are clear. If you are viewing these photos on your mobile phone, the description of each image and the artists name is underneath each image.

If you are on an iPad or PC, description is either left or right of the image.

As usual, always remember, that these photo submissions are my opinion, that does not necessarily make this right or wrong. I simply judge them based on the rules outlined in the rules of the competition.

Hopefully, some feedback will help you learn something new and make you excel in your future photography.

Without further delays, enjoy these beautiful photos and people at it’s best.
