I like it Alvin! Creative POV......I will say 70% yes

Even thought I like the work I think it is just a wee bit dark and not sure if I would notice it if I was skimming over a lot of avi's

IMO you have other works that will work a whole lot better as an avatar

to an extent yes. But there are certain things that catch almost everyone's eye.

Appreciate that PJ

IMO this one would catch my eye much more readily

I very much like the intrigue and the creativity. Very nice work. But.......I feel the subject is too small and it is of the horizontal orientation, both of which don't work as well for an avatar. So I most likely would not even notice the avatar, because it does not stand out

Curious to hear

50-55% yes. However.......IMO......you have others in your port that would catch my eye at a much higher rate of success

Thanks! I am completely open to suggestions as to what a new Avatar should be, if you are willing to share

A successful avatar has 2 "jobs"......

1. Get attention. A person can see hundreds of avatars on MM in a very short time. How will your get attention

2. Once it has gotten my attention, will it make me want to see more of your port? IMO, these are the shots that will not only get my attention, but be the best ones at getting me to see more of your port:

very beautiful shot. But the lack of "pop" would probably not get my attention. You have a couple others that I think would work better as an avatar

sorry, probably not

I like it......heck, I like all of your work! I will say 65-70% yes

Sorry, but if I cannot even tell what it is, the answer will be no

I like the shot very much. But the lack of bright color may cause me to skip over the shot. Still the curves and lighting give it a fighting chance. 60-70% yes

the lack of color hurts you. But......I did look and I like a lot of works in your port. Good job! With this avi I would say less than 50% yes

while I like the shot very very much, I am not sure there is enough color or "pop" to get my attention and get me to see more

I do see a couple others in your port that I think would work better as an avi

Kim, these are my own personal rules for selecting an avatar:

There are thousands of avatars on MM. So we go over most of them very fast. Only those that trulystand out in under 1 second get more views and therefore will cause people to see you port more frequently. So these are the "rules"

1. Red. people always notice red. We are wired that way
2. clean lines. The more "stuff" in your photo the less you will stand out and be noticed
3. brighter colors
4. If using a B/W photo, use one that has higher contrast.
5. attractive body parts stand out......for obvious reasons.......cleavage, legs, curves, eyes all will make people stop and look
6. close the better. Don't make yourself small in the photo. Make yourself closer and bigger
7. vertical is usually better......not horizontal photo orientation

I fully understand that you are new on MM and probably haven't had many decent shots yet to have a good avatar. When you get some good shots, ck out these rules when selecting on of your works to be an avi

Good luck!!

Yes, and I did look. Very beautiful and very impressive!
