Bold: or the arm, like on the 4th avatar ?
The really bad thing about avatars is their limited size,so the focal is important and it's not a big deal to figure it up, but my guess is that not every part can be used as focal point,especially in stocks with so little potential.
Underline: true,however from what i see here it's hardly can be called a "Design" .
You can transform a stock with little potential into a great one, if you know how to, of course.
I doesn't matter, the hand/arm can be taken as a half focal point, then the other half being the hat and the face(which is between the arm/hand and the hat).If it is pleasant to the eye, then i guess it can be called nice.
That's why i put it in brackets...
And one other thing, you shouldn't criticize others work, i mean, giving cnc is OK, but you never know, for you their work may not be good, but for others it may be great.

Thank you
