 Sadly, this is almost like looking in a mirror. I’ve gone for a physical representation rather than an emotional or psychological depiction.

I did not have a clue as to what to shoot that could be considered a self portrait until I came across this Boab Tree. It’s not a great photo and I’m sure that most will not like the silver film effect so a low score is expected. But it does put a smile on my face as I constantly make fun of my extended middle-aged spread.

Ha! So you see yourself as a tad bottom heavy? I think you're probably being overly critical. The shot is lovely!
