 Argh, I must admit--it's a self portrait. I really would have rather done anything else that take a picture of myself, but I was out of time and out of ideas. blech.

At least you had the courage to do it. I saw it, considered doing it, rejected the idea almost immediately...

Darn fine job with the focus for a self portrait! I've never been able to figure that out. Good job with the light - it feels a bit like window light (though I suspect it's an actual light) and you've done well to avoid hot spots. I just checked the comments and a couple others have pointed out what I was going to say next - the hands are entirely too clean! :-) The flour on the face looks too "posed", especially given how clean the hands and arms are. Still, as I said I'm very impressed with the focus and a very good idea for the challenge!

awww... kudos to you for doing this. I thought it was cute and should have finished with a higher score. Maybe the hands were too clean lol, who knows. Fun idea for your photo.

Great capture of the personality. Only one problem, if she was really working that dough, her hands would be covered in flour, they're too clean.

But I still think it's a good pic.
