what I like about this photo is that it shows you have a perfect tummy, great curves, and the action of the hair will probably draw my attention. I did indeed look through your port and you have a very sexy and slightly exotic look. However you can still pull of the "girl next door/best friend" look also. So.....all of this said.....probably yes...70%

How about me?

This avatar really doesn't show off your angelic face, fabulous legs or amazing eyes.......all of which are your strong suits. So to the current one the answer is no

collages very rarely work as a good avatar......and so the answer would be no. You have an excellent body and beauty. But it is difficult to tell in your current avatar.

It is a very beautiful photo, but the lack of color and horizontal orientation hurts your chances. Probably not

Hiiiyaaaa

I like the way it shows your middle curves, but difficult to see your cleavage. I will say 55-60% yes

Ooh yes! I just started modeling after like a year hiatus so I'd like to know if my new photos grab your attention.

Your curves and legs I like. but truthfully there is not enough pop to draw me in. I looked at your port and right away see 2 others that I think would get more attention as an avi IMO........

You are extremely beautiful....of that there is no doubt. But your current avi lacks the boldness and pop to really get you noticed. I see a couple others that IMO would work much better for you!

Good luck!! I see you doing fabulous here

You are doing it right. Red is the color to use, as it gets noticed the most. Great curves, hint of cleavage, and good pop and contrast. The only other one that might do just as well or perhaps a bit better is this:

I changed my avi to an older picture that was very well received because of your suggestion. Thanks for your input! smile

Your present one.......no. The red is good but there in not much separation and contrast in the rest of the shot. IMO you have a couple others in your port that would serve you better. thanks for stopping by
