Bookmark topic
For those who do not wish to post a photo of themselves will a willing participant be an allowable substitute assuming they themselves took the photo (hence selfie) and it was composed and directed by the entrant.
i.e. Can I tell my wife/girlfriend how to pose, set the lighting then leave her with the camera and use the result as my own entry this month? Or must it be a photo
I took of
myself?
Obviously family appropriate photos only for those who have active imaginations of wife and/or girlfriends.
Also, by definition and by the OP rules, is there a limit to the number of people in a 'selfie'?

I'm afraid that picture would be your wife's selfie, not yours, so I don't think it would be valid, you have to be in the picture yourself, somehow, hence "selfie"
Suppose this would only be valid, if your wife signs up as a member here, and then posts it as her own entrance.....

It is stated very clear that the member has to be in the photo. The shootout is about members taking pictures. Therefore you have to make a picture of yourself, that is a selfie.

Of course it's okay, no theme ever will be for everybody
and a lot of people like posting selfies on Twitter, Facebook, etc.,
Oh, and btw, congrats with your win, stunning photo!
Thanks!
And yeah.. different people would be more comfortable with this than others, I just hope we get a decent amount of photos to look at.

The photo must be of yourself, and you need to be the only person involved in taking it. Can't use someone else as a living tripod either lol
Its essentially a self-portrait, but no necessarily a hand held one.

Ah yes probably they do. Was my second time in Liverpool I also took a selfie outside Anfield at the Hillsborough memorial. You'll Never Walk Alone was in the background but unfortunately when I uploaded the photo here the portrait shot uploaded the wrong way up.
