As I posted in the other thread, I would be up for a self-portrait round, but I wouldn't want to see a theme in every round, for the reasons that others have mentioned, (too limiting, competition etc.) I think working in a postcard format is structure enough.

Leave things as they are IMO.

Leave it alone. I agree. Again

If some people want to do a self portrait, then they should (me included), but it shouldn't be a theme.

Leave it alone....the variety & the anticipation of the unknown is what makes it exciting.

I agree, I love the diversity of the cards. Not that a theme would lead to everyone taking the same picture, but I like the randomness and would prefer to continue without a theme.
