While the model is amazingly stunning, I thing an avatar using just the bottom shot in your present collage avatar would be much stronger and more "eye-catching" Thanks!!

JMorgan86 wrote: Just curious, mine? Love feedback since I am just beginning, thanks! Well, I will tell you what I think. That is pretty much all I can do, and you can choose what to do with what I tell you. there are avatars that will catch my eye when I post on another person's photo, thread or even on the main page, some avatar's will catch my eye. What makes those Avatar's stand out? Here is a short list: 1. bigger is usually better. Far away photos don't work on a small avatar. They have to grab my attention in about 1/4 of a second at most, and if my eye/brain has to figure out the avatar photo because you are too small in it or it is too busy, then it will not catch my eye 2. Colors.....bright colors catch my eye better. White (not so much a color but you get the idea) and red do the job the best. If you do a B/W then make sure that it really pops me in the face and says "HEY!! Look at me!!" That is why I use the avatar that I use. It stands out. If the photos was smaller, it would not stand out. Do you agree? 3. Photos with curves and lines work very well. I will quantify this up front by saying I am a huge heterosexual. Just the way I am. We all have things about the opposite sex that really catch our attention. Look at the previous comments I have made......especially the ones that say "100% yes". There is something in the photo that sets the female apart.......legs, curves, behind, eyes, ........those catch my eye alot. And if you can highlight them, then I will more likely look at your port.......and maybe even list or want to work with you if even possible. 4. Males. As I said before, I am a heterosexual. So you are already at a disadvantage if you are a male llama. However, I will look more if you have a very creative avatar (because I like creativity no matter what your sex is), and I also enjoy beauty. Beauty can be male or female, but once again I inherently believe that females have more inherent beauty. Just the way I am. OK, now to your avatar. I do like your avatar. But if I was quickly scanning a page, yours would not stand out a great deal. Once again, all this is my opinion, and someone else may give you a different opinion. So value this as much as you choose. It just doesn't hit me in the face and say "look at me". In order to do that you are going to need something with a lot more pop. Something that will take it from a good avatar to a WOW factor avatar. These are the ones I think would do good for you and why: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 4#29399404 Your legs are gorgeous, your smile is amazing, and the lighting is good. The only bad thing is that it needs to be cropped tighter. I don't want to have to strain to see good legs in an avatar https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 5#29404015 Once again the legs would sell this, but it doesn't have as much pop as the one I listed above. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 0#29399410 There are very few llamas that can sell themselves 100% with only their facial beauty and a smile. You are one of them. This obviously is not a professional photo, but you need to get one with your great smile. Seriously, if you are to be a professional llama, your smile may very well be your ticket.
