Qualities of a good profile picture

This image is filled by Hattori's face so that his hair point and hat are not visible.

Hattori's face's most distinctive traits are his dark skin, blue green eyes, horizontal hairpoint, and distinctive ballcap. The image on the left captures all of those within the frame, versus the second which has cut out the hat and hair. The one on the left is thus a better profile image.
