Hey, I'll definitely go a "9" for you also. Your pic matches what I'd envision of somebody writing books for children. Happy, great smile, with a hint of "mischief".
It suits your business. This is you and your wife at work right? Checking out a restaurant on your travels. Would have liked to see just a tad more enthusiasm though. 9
I wonder why the tie got cut off where it did and there's a bit of the top of your head cut off but not enough to be distracting. You look great and so does the photo. Dressed to suit your business. I like the beard! 9.5
Hy!
The "cutting" you can find on more friends here - also my pic was cutted - but not by myself (maybe the system) - I tried two more times to load the picture up (I use the same also on other places on internet - for the "aha - yes we know-Effect" - but here it looks strange also to myself.
Never mind - friends will not "see" it ;-)
Because of the way it gets cropped when you upload it I had to crop it to that size using Photoshop. If I included more of the tie then it wanted to lop the top of my head off which looked even worse. I wish they'd configure the software to be more forgiving when posting your profile pic. Thanks for the kudos though!
Perhaps you're sober but was the photographer lying on the floor drunk? Very bad angle and cut off head. I like the shirt color and I think you have a lot of potential. Please take a new photo!
