Well, it is different. I give you that. Will it make me want to see more........I might be intrigued by the mind that uses a black circle as an avatar. 50-60% yes

The bright pink will most likely get my initial attention but not much drama in the shot to make me want to see more. IMO you have others that might work better for you as an avatar.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!!

The red will get my initial attention and the cleavage/tummy will most likely draw me in the rest of the way.

I will say yes

while I like the shot......very much.......the lack of bright color or contrast will most likely mean I won't even see it initially.

The lack of contrast and bright color that hits me in the face will probably mean that I won't even see your avatar. That would be a shame because I did look at your port and it is wonderful! Even listed 1 or 2. If the bikini was red it might get my attention initially. hard to say though.

IMO....if you will let me say.....I think you have some other shots that might serve you better as an avi.......thanks for stopping by!!

your best quality Natalie is your eyes. Use them. This photo doesn't really highlight your strong points, so the answer would most likely be no

Hmmm. The darkness and lack of contrast may work against you. However if I did notice it, I would most likely want to see more

Actually I was doing you next. I do indeed like the work and what you have done with the cropping and coloring. However, a photo needs a big initial "pop" to get noticed because there are so many avatars out there. Usually something that is easily definable and vibrant color (red is still the best color to use) and/or big time contrast. Unfortunately, your work lacks those things. Even though the work is fabulous, IMO it lacks for getting my attention as an avatar.

thanks again for stopping by!!

Your port is fabulous, and I really like your work.........a lot! Your current avi has little to draw me in however. IMO you have other work that would serve much better

Your subject is too small and I have to take time to figure it out. If I have to take time then the answer would most likely be no
