Don't take this thewrong way, but the second of the 'artistic' pictures looks better then it's normal version. Perhaps you can research some way of Photoshoping yourself in real-life. :D

And when you do can you let me know how, as I'm spending a fortune on small cloth bags at the minute. :wink:

32 years. I've always had N.E. Lincs - UK as my location as well. Not too observant are we? :P

Fuck just noticed you said English and not British (now who's not being very observant). In that case I've been down here amongst the heathens for 27 years.

GENTLEMEN. If you were offering advice on how to take better pictures, then your chatter would be welcome. HOWEVER, for what feels like the thousandth time, you are being reminded: PLEASE DO NOT CHITCHAT IN THIS THREAD. There's no absolute right to be able to post pics of oneself on this board; this thread can get locked just like the other one.

Just some thoughts.
Hmm. Were I you, I'd take the black areas and remove all variation within them, namely those little white dots. I'm not sure about the lips, I'm tempted to say get rid of the white dots there too. Then there's the eyes... I'm not at all sure what to do here, and I'm not suggesting making the color flat, but I feel as though more could be done there, especially the on the right. That is, your left eye. Also, Could something be done about the ear? It's just hanging there in space. It'd be alright if it wasn't at an angle and lighting that made the visible part so small. As it is...meh.
Cpl K: Nice pic. To-the-point. Well-defined horizon. Great hat.

xBlackFlash: That's not a real bookshelf, is it? Well, you said it was taken in your bathroom. Weird wallpaper, then. I like the pic, but may I suggest that in the future you turn your head just a bit more toward the camera? At that angle your cheeks look kinda bony. Also, as much as I like HDS-style nonexpression, some more pics with different variations on similing would be nice. Admittedly, we have the 'shitty' pic, but I think I'm being reasonably clear. OTOH, I think that a lot and am wrong.

How does this look?
Manly. Frankly, I don't understand the positive responses you got to that pic. You look like a guy in that, seriously. Specifically, this guy I know named Joe who used to be a friend but then became an alchoholic and a born-again. The hair may be long but at that particular time it's falling in a way that's very gender-neutral. You also look kind of hunched-over, this doesn't help. Honestly, I can't think of something you could have done differently for that pic that wouldn't have looked better, outside maybe shaving your head and wearing loose-fitting camo. I try to be constructive, but...damn.
