60/40, but not a sure thing

IMO this one is much better......especially if you can get the orientation to vertical

intriguing and creative. But you are probably to small in the avi to really tell what is going on at a glance

haha......definately. I do indeed like the shot, but it would take me too long (more than .5 seconds) to figure out what it is in the avatar form. IMO others would be a much surer thing......like these:

Fabulous port! I admire you quite a bit.......but........your avatar doesn't do it for me. It blends a bit much to be an affective avatar

I like the artistic flavor, but I think you have a couple others that are better for an avi.

based on this one I would say 50/50

Well, an avatar is really just to get someone's attention and be a small representation of your port. So the PS stuff doesn't really matter for an avatar to much (unless it is super overdone and overdone really bad). However, when I looked at your port, I really don't think that photo does much for you at all. You have others that would be much better and grab my eye for effectively.

Probably not. It doesn't have much "pop". You have others that would work much better. And if I can speak from my little soapbox for just a moment......smile Megan! You are very beautiful, but it looks like you are pissed or just lost your best friend in all the shots. Get some variety in your facial expressions.....especially a smile or 2

Thanks so much for stopping by! Much appreciated it, and after looking through your port I wish so much you weren't so far away. Good luck!!

Plain and simple, you are amazingly beautiful. And I sincerely mean that. Even though I like the creativity of your current avatar, I doubt that it would case me to look at your port.......which is a shame because I actually did look and that is when I saw all the beauty. You have many other artworks that would serve you much better as an avi

Thank you for the kind words and for your opinion. Would you please point out some of the works that would serve as a better avatar? Thanks! smile

There are some others that may work good also, but IMO these are the best for getting attention. Fabulous port and look!!

Very close, but she is a bit too distant. Crop it closer so the subject's legs hit us upside the head and the answer will most likely be a yes
