Is a Close-Up Picture Better for My Avatar?

[KellyTheChef]

Hi all! I am trying to change my avatar to my picture. I dowloaded PhotoPlus 6.0 to edit it and I was able to crop it to a smaller size. But, compared to some of the other ones posted here mine looks so "far away." Do I just need to get a picture that was taken closer to look better?

Thanks!

BTW, that picture was taken at Doris' desk during a HO tour!

Wow. Did you feel really special? I didn't have a camera with me, and I was "alone" on the tour. Didn't have a buddy to snap a shot. That WILL NOT happen to me this year.

Kelly,Just crop it tighter--more of a head shot. That should work for an avatar.

Nice pic, Kelly. It is always good to put a face with the typing!

I need to update mine, but most of the time I cannot figure out how to reduce the pixels to be able to post it. In the next few weeks I am suppose to get the pics of my son back we did this weekend and I am going to HAVE to use one of them they are so cute!

That was the coolest! I also have a picture of me standing behind the counter in the HO kitchens!

Thanks, I did that and it worked.
I guess when I was cropping it, I was trying to be able to show that I was sitting at Doris' desk! Oh well, the close up looks more like me, since you can see it better!

Cool. I like your cropped photo--so much easier to see your pretty face.

How about listing your location as: Sitting at Doris' desk. You can always put Oklahoma in your siggy somewhere...And by the way, the pic looks great!

Yes, but I would much rather have my avatar be a picture of me with DORIS HERSELF!!!!!!
