Well c'mon, now -- the comparison isn't fair. That wasn't exactly a bikini you were wearing in that last picture. You were so bundled up, you could have passed muster with the Taliban!

BTW, the new avatar is actually me. (Recent photo.)

I try to pick pictures that look friendly and harmless, hoping that if I say something that *could* be taken badly, people will look at my avatar and figure I didn't mean it that way.
I don't like using human form avatars myself. I prefer using cats. My own, even. But I almost never take a full picture and resize it, I love to photoshop it a bit (actually, the one I have now is one of the purest I've ever used, I only removed some extra cat, though the original was focussed on the eyes and not a lot extra...)

We have no way of know if you're good enough or not, what we need is one of you similarly dressed. Purely for comparison of course

I actually prefer using photographs, but since I'm always the one in our family taking the pictures, there are precious few of yours truly, and none I consider suitable at present as a avatar.

I like it when people use real photos. Putting a picture to the words give a feeling of the person in a way that you can't get, IMO, from symbols alone.

I'm generally the one taking the pictures for a reason... I don't like pictures of myself! I always look stupid in them...

in all reality I have that problem as well. I wouldn't have even had that photo but my students parents wanted it. it was the last day of regular classes for the season and she had just passed her tests... her parallel tests!!! and she was a brand new skier when I started her that season! wooo-hooooo!!!!!
