Hmmmm, I am intrigued. I will say probably yes, but you are a bit small in the shot to make it a good avatar. If you were a bit larger in the shot......if it was cropped in more to show you better......I would say a certain yes

I typically go for unconventional subject nature despite the goal of this site. Then again I typically only expect people to see the avatar in the forums where I'm mainly goofing off.

I like the photo, as it shows you have fabulous eyes and lips. The problem with horizontal photos is that they don't show up as well. So I will say 60/40

Hmmm, it very much shows you are a master at lighting and contrast. While it is not 100%, I will say 60/40

haha.....you are very funny! No, I'm not drunk (yet) but when I looked through your port I saw beautiful works of many beautiful women by a very skilled photographer. Excellent work!!

The one you have up know is probably a no. why? Not because it is bad by any means, but for the most part an avatar will get noticed more readily if it is in color......and red is the color that gets the most attention. so while I love B/W photos, unless there is some definate contrast to set yours apart and get noticed, it will usually be a no.

I saw many works of yours that I believe will make a much better avatar. And I wasn't even drunk.......thanks for stopping by

The irony of the reason for your "no" isn't lost on me wink
You are right however. Thanks for your kind words!

The one you have right now is pretty scorching hot.......but IMO this one will get more looks. The red and your legs will draw people in.....listed it too!

I like the photo but doubt it will make me look at your port. B/W is harder to get attention

no it isn't bad at all, but I am not sure it will make me want to see your port. The colors get jumbled up just a bit, which messes up the clean lines. That can more readily make someone not notice you. I believe you have others in your port that will work better as an avatar. I really like your presence and confident. Great work and thanks for stopping by!!
