No, of course not.  You look just fine.  The only problem is that not enough people are looking at your photos.

The reality of getting comments is quite simple once you understand how Model Mayhem works.  You have to figure out a way to get people to visit your profile. With nearly a million registered and hundreds of thousands who are actually active, the odds of anyone finding your profile at random are slim to none.  That's why no comments, because no one is looking.

If you want people to visit your profile and look at your photos, you have to give them a reason to do that.  Being active in the forums on a frequent basis, viewing and leaving comments on the photos of other members, making announcements on the front page, posting availability notices, and entering the various contests available, you will get some people who will go look at what you are doing. Many people spend an hour or more a day on MM promoting themselves.

If you can get even one out of 50 or 100 who looks at a photo to leave a comment on it you are doing good, but first you have to get them to visit your profile.  As you can see from a few of your older photos, getting one out of 10 to leave a comment is usually a good indication that people really like that photo. There's nothing wrong with you at all.

1. the photographer(s) isn't really a master of his craft. I didn't find single picture in your port that is in focus. And that's simply it. I see your avatar in a thumbnail size and think "wow, what a stunner". Once opened up it's not such a great piece of art anymore because the eyes are out of focus.

2. The picture editor, in my humble opinion, isn't a master of his craft either. There is one picture with red water. If it was meant to be that way there isn't enough of a "message" in the picture. It looks painfully photoshopped.

3. I can see from your port that the pictures resulted from maybe one or two photo shoots. Try to do some more, get some practice. Posing isn't easy. Every photographer has poses that he prefers or hates. Try a lot use every chance.

....All of this...



I think you are gorgeous and belong in the model world. And I'm not just saying that as a fellow servicemember! But as for your port, there's nothing there that would make me or any of my peers want to list and/or comment. Your poses and looks come off as inexperienced, and most of the photos look unprofessional. I'm not sure if the photographer is a family friend or someone you respect, so I apologize if I offend him, but to grow and get experienced, I'd hire a professional and pay the big dollar to get the results. The ones you have used are in the amature to intermediate category (I'm not pointing fingers, as I fall into that category as well!)

Your exude confidence, which is awesome! You don't really have a dynamic range of poses yet, which is fine. Those can be learned. The hard thing to master is facial expressions and the ability to vary them. Especially if a concept or pose pushes past your comfort zone. In some of your images where you where a cowboy hat and a  sheer top, your face looks strained and uncomfortable, and your smile doesn't look genuine.

Find a professional (here on MM or wherever) and research him/her. If they can provide the quality, as his/her price and go with the intent to learn. Research poses and facial expressions and do what every pro-model, or every pro-anything does; practice practice practice... Pinterest has a bunch of stuff on poses and expressions you can pin to your board.

And finally, change your profile text, as song lyrics won't make anyone want to hire you or view you. If raising money for the Wounded Warriors is the game, you gotta have the credentials to match!
