The definition of selfie is a photograph taken by the subject. The definition of a self portrait is a portrait of an artist produced or created by that artist. The difference between the two is that the selfie is more likely to be taken by a cellular device.
I personally prefer the self portraits because there is more flexibility to use imagination and creativity. What i mean by this is that with self portraits the most common form is paintings, which when painting there is a choice to exaggerate certain features. In a selfie there is that choice, it seems more uncomfortable and "illegal".
Selfies seem to be overused and abused, resulting in repetition. Self portraits have a huge amount of choices to express yourself, while selfies seem generic.

2016 best photos
This photo had a nice color palette. the simplicity was complemented with color
The silhouettes are crisp and blurry, the subject only appears on the top half of the photo
the girl seems peaceful, and the nature is healthy and stunning
best song of 2016
Make Me (Cry) Noah Cyrus ft. Labrinth
this song is the best in 2016 because of the new sounds that it brings, including drops, trains whistles and more. the vocals in the song are also rough but perfect for the topic. Noah Cyrus is Miley Cyrus's sister, so the new album jumpstarts Noah's career.
best movie of 2016
Passengers
this movie is my favorite that was released in 2016 because it was somewhat new. the plot of the movie was different. the graphics were amazing and vibrant. the storyline was a bit slow but still exciting.
most important news of 2016
Trump wins U.S. Presidential Election
this news was the the most impactful in 2016 because it was devastating and catastrophic for some and an angel sent from heaven for others. Trump becoming president was extremely impactful to the united states because it dethroned the current President Obama.
most important person of 2016
David Bowie
Bowie was very influential to a lot of people. once Bowie died on January 10th, because of liver cancer, many tributes have been created since. his lightning bolt make up and heterochromia has become a special trademark.
biggest entertainment story of 2016
Kanye's and Taylor's Battle
