At the very least, they'd show that you're enjoying what you're doing (or gagging so hard your eyes water) and that goes a LONG way ;)
Not to be insulting, but the pic on the left looks like cousin IT. Unless you're working the long hair niche, I'd pic a shot that shows your face, or at least your best features.
Also..it's pretty sparse. This is an ad right? You're paying for every KB of data you load (assuming you're not freehosted) so why would you load a KB that isn't promoting you? Magazine ads don't have dead space, neither do smart retail stores, your headers and banners shouldn't either. Get as much of your "product" in front of the surfer as you can ;)
As far as picture quality, I'd start hitting up a board like amateur masters and look for other amateurs in your area that you could do content swaps with in return for photo services. It's a low cost way of increasing your exposure and getting higher quality content shot.

Lots of good ideas here Deb. When I say more sticky, I'm really just talking about the color scheme/or flow if you will. You want an add (or Banner) that is going to catch an eye when it's displayed. I'm just not getting the POP that I like to see in banners from this one. (No disrespect by any means).
I'm so really hating the image with you taking one all the way in and so close. Pan the camera back more so that you can really see what's your greatest profession. And like was stated before, I really hate, even visiting the site how you use that image covering half of your face, you need to close the deal with (like stated), your face, eyes, body, etc,etc.....
