Cheeky grin, relaxed backwards lean, everything about this selfie says ‘No biggie’. Prelfie rating 7.8/10

First group selfie of the list, so technically more challenging. Good effort marred only by blurring and half priest’s face out of shot. Prelfie rating 7.9/10

Dramatic lighting on the face, a bit scary, would definitely make you go and get ashed. Prelfie rating 8.8/10

Near-perfect group selfie, manages the technically tricky feat of getting everyone to smile, bonus Father Damo points for mentioning Buzzfeed. Very strong effort. Prelfie rating 9/10.

Incredible duckface from Left Priest sends this shooting almost to the top. Prelfie rating 9.4/10.
