I'm on vacation this week - so I can do whatever I want 

Here's a self-portrait. Genius, art, or just plain stupid? You decide

[Woodsea]

Kinda scary.  I thought you were better looking 
Is that chocolate?

[JohnR]

Har

Rather less edible, I suspect (but I'm not going to try). At the least, it will be very salty...

The whole frame is maybe an inch and a half or two across.

Is that a little globule on a drum stool?

[Grumpy_Git]

Some sort of anemonmie-moniemoniemonie..... or jellyfish?

Nick.

[JohnR]

Indeed it is an anemone!

A shiny and reflective one, as it happens

[ebag4]

Is this where the self portrait piece comes in?

[JohnR]

Yes, but my head shows up three times on the anemone too It's actually kinda bizarre how it reflects light...!

Self-portrait #2 -

[JohnR]

Self-portrait #3 -

OK, that's it. I'm done now

[Levi]

Nice!

Hey!

   Pretty neat there John.

  At first on the first picture I thought it was a cherry or something like that in syrup next to chocolate cake.

Take care,
Buddy

Is there a wide shot of this thing?  I'm still not sure what it looks like exactly.

[mjosef]

Hey... they're self-portraits. Who are you calling a "thing"?? 

Oh, alright, alright. Here's a photo of some anemones. With free bonus crab. (This is not a self-portrait...)

So... what do you think of the images? Maybe the second one should be turned into the.. um... portrait orientation like the third?

[lonewolfny42]

Cool shots John....enjoy your vacation.

Further info on sea anemones....
