Hm, some very nice portraits here. However if you would be to judge according to the rules of the challenge, the winner would be DQ'ed. That's a B/W picture and not Sepia :-)
It is stll a very good portrait, nonetheless.
If you want to host an elite challenge open only to previous winners, at least also take the trouble to enforce the rules correctly.

I hope the host will ensure that the submissions adhere to the definition of Portrait.

Thanks.

I hope you don't mean that all the photos have to be in upright orientation, do you? These bunch seems fine by me.

0 upvotes

I did not mean the upright orientation. Sometime back, in another portrait competition, it was clarified that portrait should mainly cover the face of the subject and here we have many entries where the subject is in a scene, in a car etc.

Anyway I accept the famous two rules.
Rule 1. Boss is always right
Rule 2. If u think he is wrong refer to rule 1.

I do agree we have some wonderful entries. I would rather enjoy them and learn rather than worrying about other things.

Thanks

Your title says "1 Adult WOMAN", but your description states "one HUMAN adult" (which could be male also). Please clarify.

1 upvote

Thanks for bringing it up. I will clarify this.
1 Adult Woman is required.
