I like the middle one the best. But I like both of them in the white blouse. You look like a writer.
Hmmmm. I think I like the last one. I like the expression and the way the scarf is tied. Can’t really say why, just that it looks…. pleasing.
I like the third picture. My second choice is the first picture.
The first one looks more “dignified” but the 3rd one is more you. The scarf on that one adds more style and “ties” the whole look together.
All are beautiful, Donna! The first one was my immediate favorite. The second one comes in second. You can’t go wrong with either.
1st one!
Ok, here is my 2 cents. The Head shot in the first is great, do not like the scarf, too covering. The second your eyes look like you are being shocked. That narrows it down to the 3rd, still not a fan of the scarf, yet way the scarf is tied is more professional. MAS
I like the second one. I think it looks like Donna the Author. T did a good job.
I agree with Char – I like the first one best.
Exciting!
Love them all but love the first one best-
Char
The first one just IS you. Can’t explain it.
gut reaction.. the lst one. but… like direct stare of 2nd one… no to third…kind of betty crockerish….
it is so hard to be objective… all are good… i like the white shirt & scarf …. like the light on your hair in the second… good luck trying to decide!
So professional….I love it! #3 and #2 are my favorites; in that order 🙂
I like the first one best. 🙂
The first one looks more professional. The third one looks friendlier. The second one looks as if you’ve been surprised. Nix the second one and choose between one and three. Either one of those would be terrific! And again, congrats on the contract!
Hi Donna! I’m a professional photographer, so I’m giving you my professional opinion. 🙂
The first photos is blurry (looks like camera shake). You should nix it for that reason because it gives you a slight haze when looking at it small and large. Like you’re not in focus.
The bottom smile is more natural. Your head tilt is more unposed. But the middle photo is better body positioning, and the long lines of the scarf accentuate the leanness of your upper body.
So 2 or 3, but 2 is my choice. 🙂
One thing … all three are a little low contrast. Ask your photographer to either use Levels or Curves to add a little contrast between the dark and light in your photo. This will define your face a little more against the black background. 🙂
I hope you had fun with the shoot! It’s always hard being behind the camera! I hate it and I’ve been photographing for 6 years! Only behind it a couple times. 🙂
Happy choosing!
My choice for a picture would be the bottom one. I am so excited for you, you are going to be a “published” author.
I like the second one best
No 1 looks like a book cover jacket. No 2 is also nice. I wouldn’t go with 3, but that’s my opin 🙂
I’m so very excited for you!!!!
Love ya

frankly, i really wish they were in color! that being said1, i like the first one best. the other two are kinda off, even though you’re smiling in them, you look better in the first one.
I love the middle one! You look like you’re about ready to tell someone off (Reade?) and that is just so you. I still can’t get used to you as a blonde, though. I’ll bet the others say the same thing.
I rather like the top one. You look very professional and dignified.
Number 1 is my favorite but number 3 is okay as well. I’m so happy for you!
Thanks everyone!!! Now we’ll see if they use any of them – LOL!
Cool blog!
