Being inspired by the couple of posters who have recently shared pics of themselves here, and subsequently opened themselves up to comments/criticism of those pics, I decided to do the same. I think opinions from strangers is the best kind one can get, sometimes. So I am posting a pic which is my favorite of my facebook profile pics. But I’d like to see what others think about it, and if my opinion of it is shared by many, by few, or just by _me_ (although that’s doubtful). So lemme know, whichever way you prefer, numerically or otherwise. > **[AOL](https://login.aol.com/?done=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.login.aol.com%2Foauth2%2Frequest_auth%3Fclient_id%3Ddj0yJmk9VlN3cDhpNm1Id0szJmQ9WVdrOVdtRm1aMVU1Tm1zbWNHbzlNQS0tJnM9Y29uc3VtZXJzZWNyZXQmeD1mYQ--%26redirect_uri%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Foidc.mail.aol.com%252Fcallback%26response_type%3Dcode%26scope%3Dmail-r%2520ycal-w%2520openid%2520openid2%2520mail-w%2520mail-x%2520sdps-r%2520msgr-w%26src%3Dmail%26language%3Den-US%26state%3DeyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6IjZmZjk0Y2RhZDExZTdjM2FjMDhkYzllYzNjNDQ4NDRiODdlMzY0ZjcifQ.eyJyZWRpcmVjdFVyaSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vbWFpbC5hb2wuY29tL2QvMzQxMjItMTExL2FvbC02L2VuLXVzL21haWwvZ2V0LWF0dGFjaG1lbnQuYXNweD91aWQ9MTA4MSZmb2xkZXI9SW5ib3gmcGFydElkPTAifQ.kQ-0kP6pjQbbZ-hPbGAtg_o3l9YLuTUIRmX9yrzBmxIk4QrAZGWXR7KBxWm04aC_SrCgWsUBRpFIxUJwPgkmuwfSTzFwOENjBCtorrXp88FpqH4rsuqnqvvH62Z8xWXPBFRB4pv2Fp-DiiqAqAhCvGjO8FLa6S1PkhiFWiYEt-M%26nonce%3DlVK63wjNjuNBAGaiJuDE82fKBVYdUboB&src=mail&crumb=KV6Ap5wsIGv&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Foidc.mail.aol.com%2Fcallback&lang=en-US&client_id=dj0yJmk9VlN3cDhpNm1Id0szJmQ9WVdrOVdtRm1aMVU1Tm1zbWNHbzlNQS0tJnM9Y29uc3VtZXJzZWNyZXQmeD1mYQ--&pspid=1197803637&activity=default&language=en-US)** > > AOL ---

Just go to the picture on your Facebook account, hit f5 (this’ll make the image reload as a clickable picture as opposed to the gay gallery thing it defaults to), then right click on the picture and choose “Copy image URL”, then paste that here. [Like this.](http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/199647_202976056398500_100000583200108_711395_7496237_n.jpg) Or get a photobucket account.

Jamie, you can make a facebook picture public where anyone can see it. Down at the bottom of the page with the picture there’s a thing that says “share photo with anyone” and then there’s a link.
