Me Every Week! 22-28 August: LEGS and FEET!!!

August 22nd, 2011
This is the sixth official Monday of this challenge.
Make a self-portrait every week, based on a new theme.
The new theme will be posted on Monday.

It was so great to see all of your inspiring pictures last week, we did look so different, thank you for showing us a different side of you!

This weeks selfies must be based on this weeks theme: Legs and Feet
I'm inspired by Rebecca Doyle, who can express so much emotion with just her legs and feet. I think it's time we all try!
An example:

And this weeks selfies are also date-restricted. You only can take and post them this week!

You can post your self-portrait in this thread and tag it with monday-sp.

Have fun!!! I'm sure we'll all have amazing legs and feet this week!

And just for me, if you have a great idea for the next challenge, please post it here, it will help me to keep this thread going!

@canberrabec I did post this topic, thanks!
August 22nd, 2011
Great idea!
August 22nd, 2011
ooh i have an idea for this one,great subject matter
August 22nd, 2011
@geertje Can I just clarify. Is it legs 'and' feet or legs 'or' feet?
August 22nd, 2011
Hi Geertje K.! Thanks for sharing us your "Theme and Competition" this week. Nice concept!!! I went to Singapore National Museum last weekend and took this photo there. :)

"The Mistress"

@psychographer What you wish, everything is possible!
August 22nd, 2011
@punch_me I love it, but this is a self-portrait challenge, so maybe you can make a self-portrait inspired by this piece of art?
August 22nd, 2011
@Geertje K.: Here you go! :)

"A Month After"

When laziness attacks...

August 22nd, 2011
Hope this is OK to post - while it's obvious what I'm wearing, it is heavily edited so I hope it's OK with people.

August 22nd, 2011
@aitch2803 Of course it's OK, I think it's cool!
August 22nd, 2011
@aitch2803 Love it! The editing is amazing!
August 22nd, 2011
I posted this image on the 21st, so I guess technically it doesn't count here - but couldn't resist posting it for the Legs & Feet Challenge. I saw this somewhere (sorry, can't remember where), and had fun re-creating it.

@mackena I forgive you, this is so cool!

@grammyn Fun! I would love to be able to do that! And I wonder what the neighbours were thinking when you were shooting this ;-)

@egad So cool!

@smile4me I love how the flowers on your foot and in the pot match!
August 23rd, 2011
@eliserose781 Oh, I wish I had that many shoes!

@orangecrush What a fun picture, but, ehm, is it a selfie?
August 23rd, 2011
All stunning additions to this weeks theme!!

My contribution -


You'll have to pop on over to the original to read what Husband said to me about using my camera while in the bath...
August 23rd, 2011
@smile4me I really like this. Very creative concept.
@eliserose781 Sucha clever idea.
@geertje That is so funny because I was wondering the same thing! ;>} @orangecrush I give up.............which ones are yours!
@tashachawner I feel so sorry for your naked right foot. The left got all the adornment! ;>}
August 23rd, 2011
Not quite what I had in mind.. so'll I might give it an other try later this week
August 23rd, 2011
This is me. And me again. And thats me as well. And who's that guy on the end... oh, wait. Thats me too.

Thanks for the inspiration for this - it was fun to shoot.

August 23rd, 2011
OK, I couldn't control myself today... Made two!
One for the rainbow-challenge, but also a selfie of legs and feet:

August 23rd, 2011
And one of me running (or posing as if I was). This one is really made for this theme:

@aitch2803 I actually love this. It is provocative but tastefully done!
@egad great idea!
@elliotwb really cool shot!
@geertje I love your creativity and two for one ...?...always good!
@geertje you've got great gams girl!
@smevvy sassy!
August 24th, 2011


August 24th, 2011
@janmaki So sad you didn't show your hairy legs... ;-) coolness!

@smevvy such beautiful legs! I love the light!

@andrebarrande I really like the composition! It's mysterious because we don't see anything of you, only clothes, I like that!
August 24th, 2011
@mcdougall i love how your toes curl out of joy! Sweet love!

@cheyrebecca Beautiful nails! And such a cool picture, I love the quote!!!
August 24th, 2011
There's a bit of a theme going here - self-portraits fine, so long as I can be shadowy or hidden in some way

August 24th, 2011
This is my disastrous attempt. It took me an hour and a half to paint the sole of my foot but the finished photo wasn't as I imagined it was going to be...and yes, it really is the sole of my foot!!

August 24th, 2011
August 24th, 2011
Here's my other shot!

August 24th, 2011
@psychographer you always have such clever pictures
@eliserose781 great idea and execution.
@altadc neat angle. It makes your foot look huge!
@shanne This is so cool. How do you do it?
August 24th, 2011
@grammyn it's two pictures layered - one going up, one going down, bit of a fiddle to match the stairs - the top layer is at 50% or 60% transparency. I took them using the self-timer and a gorillapod on the rail on the other side of the stairs. I use GIMP
August 24th, 2011



My favorite fluffies and tights!
August 25th, 2011
blah.

August 25th, 2011
I think I'm going to try again tomorrow!
August 25th, 2011
I got my nails freshly "oranged" today, so I decided I needed fresh orange toes to match and then decided to share them with everyone for my selfie of the week. I don't have a remote and I couldn't figure out how to get my feet and legs into a 10-second timer shot while applying polish, so it's just a foot!
August 25th, 2011
@shanne so cool, love the spooky effect!

@psychographer Wow, that is real dedication! I love it!
August 25th, 2011
@altadc I love the processing, this is such a relaxed picture!

@eliserose781 You're so creative! Love this!

@artworkbylacey Fun dress-up! Cool tights!

@jjsooner I think this looks really good in B&W!
August 25th, 2011
@macaroniart This looks amazing! try again? What's wrong with it? So cool and creative, did you really painted everything?!?

@marilyn That's a stunning colour, bold and cool!
August 25th, 2011
I missed Monday, but I did take this today after I read this challenge.

August 25th, 2011
@geertje Thanks for the tip Geertje! Some great entries here! :) Below my entry - coincidentially matching this challenge!

August 25th, 2011
Here's another go at this weeks theme :))
Not sure what I think? I was going for this theme and Rainbows theme in one photo!

August 26th, 2011
An other try...
August 26th, 2011
There are so many incredible photos her this week, I don't know if I can comment on each of them, but I'll give it a try because I know how important comments are to me. I already commented on a couple but here goes for the rest...

@punch_me Very interesting shot...
@mackena Very fascinating...
@egad Love it...
@smile4me Simply beautiful... and beautifully simple...
@eliserose781 Love both of your shots... I have a shoe weakness and love to read so these both struck a chord with me
@orangecrush I give up... which pair of legs are yours... or are they both yours?
@tashachawner I like the processing (frame) for this shot... seems to really fit...
@elliotwb What a fun "multi"... love it!
@geertje Your shots are both great, as usual... and I agree with Katy... great gams girl!
@janmaki This is an awesome photo...
@smevvy So (tastefully) sexy...
@andrebarrande This shot fascinates me... keeps me coming back...
@mcdougall This might be my favorite interpretation of the theme this week! :)
@cheyrebecca Photo #!~Lovely shot and lovely quote... Photo #2~love the multi-colored toes and the composition...
@shanne Love this... Someday I want to try overlaying photos...
@psychographer Wow! Lots of time went into this interesting shot...
@altadc This shot just screams relaxation... hmmm, "screams relaxation" ~ that's kind of an oxymoron, I guess, but that was my first thought.
@artworkbylacey Very interesting... and very "arty" ~ is that a word?
@jjsooner Not "blah" ~ I really like the black & white...
@macaroniart I don't know why you would want to try again... it looks pretty great to me the way it is...
@lislee75 Nice action shot of your feet and legs... or foot and leg :)
@yoori Such an expressive shot... coy and fun and flirty... without ever seeing your face...
@elke I like the second shot better... good composition,colors and legs!
August 26th, 2011
@shanne Thanks . It is still way out of my processing realm!
August 26th, 2011
@marilyn Thank you so much! Made my day :)
August 27th, 2011

Finally got round to my SP and put a jigsaw overlay as this is a "piece of me"
August 28th, 2011
Me almost every night reading in bed.
Had more fun with post-editing than the shot but I was under the wire to make this week's challenge!

August 28th, 2011

August 29th, 2011
@louisejb I really love the processing, I think it matches so well!

@debsphotos Great light! I think this is a really recognisable pose!

@naturalp I love how you stand in the dirt for this one, feels lonely!

@megc1 Such a flashy skirt, love it!

@cynthiakehler I love how relaxed this looks, swinging!
August 29th, 2011
