Do you ever find yourself looking at the decor, rather than the subject?

Hell yeah!
Bad carpets and untidy computer wires, clothes on a maiden in the background and nasty curtains, wallpaper and light fittings are a pet hate of mine!
And yes, the 'pants around ankles' as Foxy said just isn't good form. I even saw one set of pants with skiddies in them - yuk! confused

It was Kents I think... :rascal:
:wanker: wink

the only time we've done any photoshop jiggery-pokery with our pics was to blur out the background because the bedroom was a mess smile

And we bet it probably took longer in photoshop to "tidy" up the background than it would have done to actually "tidy" up the background LOL lol

I feel a guide to good profile photos coming on.... :jagsatwork: LOL
Joking aside, badly photoshoped photos are just as off-putting to us, as bad photos (the types previously mentioned in the other posts... pants around ankles, etc.)
We fully understand the need for couples and individuals to maintain anonymity, but with just a little planning this can be achieved in-camera, and makes for a much better photo. And you don't need loads of expensive equipment. With just a compact camera, a window, a basic understanding of light and shadows, and a few props, people can get a really decent photos. Mind you, if everyone did that, how would Mrs Suffolk and I enjoy examining all the background clutter! :twisted:
