Why can you not use the one from your blog where you are facing the right way, and just tidy it up a bit to get rid of the background?

There was something on Horizen the other week about Dogs. Apparently humans are "left side biased" so we always look to the left half of the face first to read mood and emotions (and dogs have learned this too).

Humans have therefor also evolved to be more expressive on the right side of their face. So, when you swap the sides round, your expression looks wrong as a picture where you were smiling suddenly looks like you are less than happy.

It's still on iplayer if you're interested.

Is the smile still photoshopped in "Darren's version" (the one with the fake hair)? It actually looks better than the "Final one" you posted above it - more natural.

lol that 'final pic' looks like you need a shave.

Though, not too sure on the afro on Darren's version lol

You actually look younger in these pics than the previous one......! Phwoaaaarrrrrr xx

In 'The Final Pic!' it seems that Darren has 'whitened' your eyes -- so that you look like a Terry Gilliam animation from "Monty Python" - but, hey!, that's just MY opinion! (Still, it's better than the picture used when you first began the site years ago. THAT didn't even look like you!)

If you flip the picture your shirt buttons up right over left instead of left over right.

Which is a] a dead giveaway that Photoshopping has been indulged in and b] that's how ladies fasten their shirts... you might just want to have a new photo taken! Prefer you how you are, that "hair" does you no favours, whereas "au naturel" = lovely.

Last one looks like Lee Evans!:D
