I like, but the contrast is just a bit flat. If I do notice it I will say 60-70% yes

Morgan, you are a very pretty woman, and I enjoyed looking through your port. It shows bravery and dedication on your part, which Is often lacking in models these days.

I like your avatar as a shot, but not as an avatar. The hair in the way shows creativity and ability to have fun, but it jumbles the shot slightly for being an effective avatar. IMO you should put your beauty out there for all to see plainly, as that would get my attention more readily. that is why I like this shot:

That is a very good shot Dwayne! If someone was looking for a good male fashion model then this avatar would certainly do the job. But I am not presently looking for a male fashion model, so the answer would most likely be no

I like. Simple, good lighting, a hint of mystery, fabulous quality, and one of my weaknesses is a great tummy..........80-90% yes

I like it. I shows that you are beautiful and bold. Which is good. But to be honest, your nose looks a bit big and pointy in that shot. IMO you have others that would serve better as an avi......but this present one........60% yes

awesome model and awesome smile. But if you want a photo to just bring me in, then this one doesn't quite have enough "pop" for me. I will say 50% yes

60% yes......why? I like the legs but horizontal orientation usually doesn't work as well

You have others that work so much better IMO

Excellent use of red. I like the model.....she is beautiful. However...the way the photo is cropped and the models' body tailing away detracts a bit for the "pop" factor. I do like the photo, just not sure it is a totally effective avatar photo. I will say 60% yes

you are a bit washed out in the shot so it is difficult to see your features well. I will say 50%
