Headshot Picker — Choose Your Best Photo

Act as a photo editor selecting a headshot for a client. I am uploading [PHOTO COUNT] photos of the same person (me).

Where this photo will be used: [PLATFORM] (e.g. LinkedIn, company about page, speaker bio, dating profile, acting submission)
Impression I want to give: [DESIRED IMPRESSION] (e.g. approachable and senior, creative, warm, authoritative)
Industry or context: [INDUSTRY]

Evaluate every photo against the use case above — not against a general idea of a good photo — and return:

1. **The Pick** — which numbered photo to use, in one sentence, with the single strongest reason.

2. **Full Ranking** — every photo ranked, each with a one-line verdict.

3. **Scorecard** — a table with one row per photo and these columns: Expression & Eye Contact, Lighting Quality, Crop & Framing, Background, Wardrobe Fit For Context, Technical Quality (focus/resolution). Mark each Strong / Workable / Weak, and add a Verdict column.

4. **Why The Runner-Up Lost** — the specific difference between first and second place. Be concrete.

5. **Fixable vs Not Fixable** — for the winning photo, list what could be improved in editing (crop, colour, background) versus what would require a reshoot.

6. **Reshoot Brief** — if none of these photos genuinely work for the stated purpose, say so directly, then give a short brief: setting, lighting, wardrobe, expression direction, and framing to shoot instead.

Rules: judge the photos as photos and as fits for the stated purpose. Do not rate the person's appearance and do not give an attractiveness score. If two photos are close, say they are close rather than manufacturing a difference.
