photographs (and 2010 icon choice)

[mellowtigger]

Which of these two small images below would make the best choice for my new icon?

I tend to favor the first one for the better color tone, but the second one probably has the better facial expression.

I have a new photo gallery available here.  They are pictures taken during the recent visit by my parents to the Twin Cities.  Here are the photographs.  Click to embiggen.





Although group shots worked out fairly well, all of the attempts to photograph me solo would end up getting overexposed.  Attempts to compensate (with camera settings) caused low exposure of everything else in the image, and compensating (with software) for that issue then caused strange colored skin tones.  I'll leave the analysis to the shutterbugs.

yeah thing is you can't make it your default user pic - it doesn't save the image with each post, it just saves a pointer to "default pic" and then uses whatever your default pic de jour happens to be. one would have to leave the default pic as it was, then upload the new image with a different name and NOT use it as the default icon. save it as something else, "New user Pic" or something, then remember to set it to that every time one posts.
