As much as I like your port and think you are one of the premier models on MM, your present avatar doesn't do much for me. Why? It looks fake.

Horizontal photos usually don't work as well for an avatar. This holds true with this shot. Plus the photo appears to be a  bit soft and blurred.

In other words..........no

I like the colors and contrast. Good presentation of the models' strong points. 60-70% yes

Not a real big draw in this shot to draw me in.

IMO you have other in your port that would most likely do better in getting my attention!

Probably not. You have a pretty face and good facial structure, but just not much there to draw me in

I really really like the work Mac! show fabulous talent. However it may be a wee bit too "busy" to be a certain attention getter. I will say 60-70% yes

I really do like your port. It shows boldness, fun and a dedication to being a great model. Your present avi? I believe it is the best choice of the available shots in your port that can be used. I will say 60-70% yes.

Thanks for stopping by!!

While I like the shot, it doesn't work well for an avatar. Why? The brightness/colors of the model blend too much with the background, therefore not causing a separation and little contrast to highlight your subject. IMO you have many fabulous work in your port that would work much better as an avi

Shari, you are obviously a lovely model. But your present shots do not do you justice...including your avatar.

Nice pretty face you have used for your avi Laura. There isn't a whole lot of drama to it, but perhaps enough mystery to make me want to look.......60% yes
