This past month, we tasked you Fstoppers with entering your best self portrait for a chance to win a brand new Westcott Apollo Orb. Self portraits are understandably hard to judge, but I based my considerations on three aspects: 1) Well lit; 2) Concept well executed; 3) The photo tells me something about the photographer.
There were many quality entries and I really enjoyed going through them. Thank you everyone who entered, as it proves what a solid group of photographers we have here. But there was one that stood out among them all, and that was...
FIRST PLACE
User: Abercrombie
I love this image. Beautifully lit, great colors, excellent expression, and it has just enough going on in it to keep me looking for more. Abercrombie, you hit all three of my criteria and knocked it out of the park. Well done.
Abercrombie, to claim your prize, send us an email and we'll hook you up.
