What does it mean? The first - you used a bad camera. A bad camera for this case will never do. The second - you appealed to a bad photographer who does not know, what a composition is. That is, you stand too far from the objective, or the background for your picture is picked up badly, for example, window curtains or the TV, or, what is even worse, there is one more person standing beside: a fellow worker, a child, a dog and so on. Remember - the main character of the image is you. Everything is important for a good picture: your pose, face expression, appearance. Therefore, for the picture to meet necessary standards, you should address to a professional photographer and make photos in his studio. But originality and attractiveness of a picture depend also on your imagination. You can invite a photographer in a museum, to the nature. Look at some personal ads of other ladies who have placed their photos on the site. You can gather some ideas looking through their ads.
Be very attentive to your clothes. But you shouldn't dress up in inconceivable hats with feathers or take off too many clothes. Be natural. But not too much. Try to be modest and sexual simultaneously. Also remember - this photo is necessary for you not to send it for the contest of carnival suits or to your grandmother for Christmas, and also not to find a sexual partner or to receive letters from sexual maniacs. This photo is necessary to find a husband.
If in one month after sending personal ads and photos you have not received any letter it means that something was made wrong. Either the photo is unsuccessful, or the ads were filled in incorrectly, or it's worth correcting the story about yourself and demands to a partner. And, at last, probably you should expand the zone of your search. If you have put to yourselves task to marry a foreigner, you should persistently achieve this purpose. Show the force of your personality, will and do not spare time for the dispatch of your data. Your promised husband has been looking for you for a long time, and you should just give him a chance to see you.
