a great shot for sure. The expression doesn't jump out at me. But I would most likely enter your port if I had a little extra time.

With two pictures in a thumbnail, it makes them extra small.  I don't generally even open them up to see what they are, I just go to the next one.  Sorry, I would not enter,  and you probably have some nice work.

Well, it does show what you look like, and I like that.  But the expression is unemotional.  So I don't get struck with curiosity, and I move on.  Sorry.

You have some great shots.  And I love your avatar.  Problem is, as a thumbnail it is very dark, and if I don't look really close I won't know what it is.  So most likely it won't catch my eye and stop me.  And that's too bad, because your port really deserves the viewing.  And again, the avatar full size is an awesome shot.

Normally I would not get sucked into a port with a small image and especially when it is horizontal.  However, I find it different with this shot.  I see a well posed model.  Great composition, and a very intriguing color tone and setup.  So I know from what I see you have talent, and I would want to see more!

I find the edit to make this shot an acceptable avatar a little weird.  The shot doesn't really scream out at me to see whats in your port.  So I would pass by.  However, I think you have some in your port that would draw me in.

Hey thanks for letting me know!  I can see how on some computers it does look really dark when its small, but thanks for the compliment on my portfolio!

This one is great.  It is close up to see what you look like.  Your smile is amazing.  It draws me into your port.  And once I'm in, I find myself very pleased and wishing you were close enough to work with.

Because you are a makeup artist I would not stop at this port with this avatar.  It doesn't show your skills.  I would assume that you are just a very basic makeup artist from this shot.  But when I look at your port, you have some amazing work.  It would have been missed out on.

This shot is poorly composed cutting off the elbow.  That tells me right away that you probably don't have a lot of professional work.  So I would probably pass.  The only thing that might save you is the purple hair.  It does make me curious.

I think I would pass by.  The sunglasses block your eyes.  I always wonder what people are hiding when wearing them.  The pose doesn't jump out at me.  Nothing to make me stop.  Sorry.

You're right, I don't have much at all yet.
This hair's pretty tame for me :p
Thanks for the honesty ^_^

nice pics. But with the avatar split in two, it is too small. I would just move on.
