2 and 3 are potentially the best, with the smiling face and eyes looking at the viewer from just the right distance, though 3 is better because it's marginally closer. The folded arms are a problem, which signify blocking, insecurity and a reluctance to engage. Number 11 is problematic also. At first glance it has a dynamic appeal, with a leaning in pose, but you're looking away, avoiding eye contact with the viewer, which has an untrustworthy feel to it. If you can, I'd redo 2 and 3 without the folded arms. If you can't, I'd stay with 2 or 3, and hope the positives about the face override the negatives of the arms. Of course, just being an older white male in a suit could be a major turn-off for enough voters.
I've used a chopped down version of #3 for the profile photo, taking the turned up collar out as well. I was tempted by 11 as well.
Good choice. And good luck to you!
Thanks. To be honest I'll need a bit of luck here.
Person #1says: Number 9 and 10. Number 9 is best, but collar is a distraction. Collar could be edited out, but if not then go with 10
Person #2 says: Use Number 3 if a headshot, by cropping off the crossed arms which are a defensive look.
General opinion is that you look like a genuine sort.
thanks.
3 and 11 first thoughts from me.
Could crop out the folded arms.
But gosh, there's plenty to be *folded arms* about.
Those who are awake and against the WEF will like you.
Those who are awake and keeping quiet to save their own skins won't know what to do.
Those who are collaborators will be out to get you.
I will ask also some smart people.
All the best.

Thanks. Have some of those helping already but I'll never complain about more help.
I meant 'smarter than me ' about PR and photos, that is. Ha.

My top choice is 5, then 3, 2, 11, 8 and finally 6.
Your collar is crooked in most of them. Don't use the ones without a smile. Everything else looks good. 8 and 11 are indeed the best ones.
Yes good point. I'd missed that.
You do have movie star looks. On that basis you should romp in.
From first to last I rate : 11, 2, 1, 3, 10, 7, 9, 8, 6, 5, 4
def 2 or 3. Gotta have the genuine smile I think.
same 8 or 11...
8 or 11.
