would that news item be in your favourites if you were not featured in it? perhaps this is where ego takes over... i see plenty of other more talented photographers on here who deserve more recognition - photographers who go to extreme lengths in the name of their art, not simply sloshing on lots of make-up to falsify their image. if you have true beauty try it without chemicals. if you have true talent then you need not always concentrate on the same subject - you.
look for something fresh and earn the acclaim.
