Judges’ Comments It probably wasn't hard to choose the photograph that ended up on this cover: an image of the photographer engrossed in her work, her camera pointing out towards the world. It's the perfect illustration of the title. As one judge pointed out, it just about obviates the need to have 'self portrait' written on the cover at all.
