I like seeing the twinkle in your eye and the crinkle in your nose that lets me know you are really smiling - it makes you look approachable. The green photo is nice too, but seems more authoritative. However, they are all nice pics.

Would be good to see the one in the green sweater in black and white as the pic on book jacket may be used as a black and white as well as a color shot in publicity and reviews online and in print.Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02813757259804007252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15425802.post-54869353641102274962010-05-15T17:36:11.360-04:002010-05-15T17:36:11.360-04:00I realize I'm jumping in late here, Erika, but...I realize I'm jumping in late here, Erika, but I think the one you're using for your blog profile is great. I think the closer perspective is good for a book jacket, and you've got such the authoritative (or should I say authorial?) look on your face.

It seems more serious, for some reason. I like your blog pic the best, although I notice the very top of your head is cut off. I also like the b/w for the blog because it goes really well with the rest of your blog color scheme:shades of gray, black, white, and a really nice, deep red.

Sometimes a color author photo clashes oddly against the color of the jacket flap or back cover of a book.

Green sweater looks a lot like a sweatshirt with a gold necklace and earrings--kitchen casual. The blazer looks a little like the picture of someone who works at a bank or business. The black and white one has both softness and crispness, great bokeh and focus, and softens up the skin.
