Should I use this avatar?

It's got my actual face, or should I keep going with God?

Meh, when I tried to use my face as avatar people accused me of being in an ego trip (which incidentally I was). So, shame on you and stick with God.

Of all the people on this board, HDS, I think you can pull off using your own face as an avatar.

Whilst we are on the subject, I've made an alternate signature banner, I think I'll be using it on SA and keep my original one here though, anyway, this is only a rough idea of what I've got:

Use the picture of yourself. You've got a nice Agent of the System/Resevoir Dogs thing going in it.

Use your face, HDS. One recommendation: Tone down that glare just to the right of your face quite severely. If possible, try a subtraction gradient on it starting right on the edge if your face and getting darker as it goes to the right.

Cool. You look like a Matrix agent.
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

Nah. The reflection looks sweet. Although yeah, an added light source or gradient would be good.

Weird, I use my own pic as an avatar all the time, and nobody really says a word. Maybe they expect it from me or something.

Anywho, HDS' current avatar is great, so there's no rush to change it just yet.

Go with God, HDS; go with God. :P

The glint off his face looks great, but not that glare from the window that's causing it. I told him to dim the window, not the glint off his face :)

I overrule that suggestion and then I sentence both of you to the gallows for exhibiting democracy like behaviour.

EDIT:
New version, tried making it darker on the right:
