The composition is probably spot on, and your smile is confident and friendly - great. But the colours between your shirt and the backdrop are a washout for me... which is a shame, because you would easily madel a stronger and more dynamic shot, without appearing to be any less friendly and professional.

BTW, you should also add your name in front of the title, we're all in the people business at the end of the night.

I therefore rate you 7, but I'm looking forward to my COO becoming a ten.; ▶ Reply to This

Stems are green
You make me think
Of you in between

Chances are doubting
Reading this play
You're not for an outing
Come whatsoever may

Never mind I muse some
Not all's lost in tune
At least it's some fun
Shooting for the moon

LOL.; ▶ Reply to This

Smiling it's bloom
Time for new reckoning
Or is it too soon

My sky is left wanting
To rain on your face
To bring your smile something
To hold your embrace

We tussle and hussle
We feed from the screen
We flex heart and muscle
To be heard and to be seen

Remember me thus
My prospects and friends
I hold back to gush
Lest my place is the end

This shows the true power of a profile shot, the appeal is as human as it gets.

Are you in the nappy business, or baby production.

Many congratulations anyway, exciting times for you three.; ▶ Reply to This

However, I think you would improve this shot if you crop out the post growing from your left shoulder, and though not obvious in the small pic above, your larger profile shot shows red-eye... or is that the intentional demon in you? LOL. Getting rid of red-eye is pretty easy if you're savy with the software, which is freely available, but if you're not I'm sure a friend in your line would be able to help... it's worth fixing.

I rate you 8 as is, and 9 when fixed.

Happy printing.; ▶ Reply to This

I rate your two pics 5 and 8 respectively.; ▶ Reply to This

I still rate you 8+ though.; ▶ Reply to This

The fact is profile shots are designed to show you off and give potential contacts a reasonable perception of "you". The space typically allocated for profile pic's is always on the small side, which is why you should make the best use of the space available... in your shot for example I estimate a third of your space is the backdrop. If one was say in the landscape business, or a racing driver the same would apply... it simply doesn't makes sense to cram such small spaces with shots of your garden or some Grand Prix circuit, etc., with you, the focus of attention, rattling around there somewhere.

Your shot, unlike some others here, is easy to fix with some gentle cropping and, beyond what I have said above, it's near perfect - in my view.

On this basis I rate your 7.5 as is, but 9 with a crop.; ▶ Reply to This
