Las Vegas
New Pictures- Need some advice and I'm including a challenge!
So do you prefer the look of pictures with the head cropped off or with the face blurred out?
OR am I overthinking things and it doesn't even matter as long as the image is hot in general, lol?
I read a study on how humans do a remarkable job of identifying faces, even under many kinds of extreme degradations. For example, humans can recognize familiar faces in very low-resolution images (See the Image below and see how many you can identify!). The scientists speculate that we have learned to do this because we must often recognize people at a distance and in motion. Unfamiliar faces, however, were more difficult with degradations—which may explain why it’s difficult to identify unknown suspects in a police line-up. The pics below are just for guessing fun- I will post the answers to the names a little later or feel free to shout out who you think you know! (But I will say the average recognition rate at this resolution is one-half)

So I just took some new photos (lol- I know FINALLY) and I am trying to figure out the best way to protect my identity when I post them and yet still have some aesthetically pleasing images...

One more really cool thing... The single facial feature that is most vital for recognition is a bit of a surprise—it’s not the eyes, but rather the eyebrows that people seem to depend upon most for identification. In the images below the ones on the far right are the original images of Richard Nixon and Winona Ryder. Most people have a better chance of recognizing a person with eyebrows and no eyes (like in the center image), rather than with eyes only and no eyebrows (left) Thanks for indulging my geeky side!
