good use of color and the cleavage is a draw. Still the quality isn't quite top notch, so I will say 70% yes

My portfolio doesn't get many hits so I'm sure I know the answer already but I'll play.

Glenn, I do love B/W. If you look at my port you will see this. But this shot is perhaps just a bit too dark......little pop. It is a good shot, just perhaps it won't turn my head in the avatar department. If I can.........IMO..........you have some other shots in your port that would serve you better as an avatar. Thanks for stopping by and good luck!!

Sorry but no. Not very good quality and too dark. But......I did look at your port. IMO you have some other shots that would serve you better as an avi

Hmmm. I am a bit torn on this one. On one hand there really isn't enough there to draw me in. And.......on the other hand I like that quality and I usually like seeing the work of a good retoucher. I will go with 50/50 on this

If you crop in a make your subject larger in the frame I think it would work better. As of now she is a bit too small, so as of now no

Good use of red and good smile. Not the best pose in the world, but I can certainly live with that. If I was looking for a male model, based on your present avatar, I would say yes

Sorry, I can't really tell what it is. Looks like something falling on someone's head?

So the answer is no

You do have a couple of shots that would most likely make me look twice........but your current avi is not one of them

You need to crop it so you are larger in the shot. You.........the subject........must stand out. As of now you do not. So the answer would be no

Good use of the color red and you have very nice legs. Still, I am not sure you really stand out enough in this shot for it to be an effective avatar. Based on this photo I would say about 50/50 yes. IMO.....if you will allow me.......I would say you have at least 2 or maybe 3 shots in your port that may work better as an avatar.

Thanks for stopping by!

Collage type works generally do not work well as an avatar.
