G'day Ngaire,

I was close to your Toowoomba once. I spent a couple of days in Brisbane then on to Sydney.

I would bet that out of those 2748 entries there were many stunning portraits to choose from.

"A portrait is a painting, photograph, sculpture, or other artistic representation of a person, in which the face and its expression is predominant. The intent is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the person."

Garth's fantastic self portrait would surely have won. My neighbor kid that needed a ride to school would still fall into the above 'portrait' definition, as would Morgan Weistling's reflection portrait. But 'Rachel's belly with curious lizard'? I don't think so. Of course the lizard would protest, but he went on to fame in one of Tarantino's movies.
