I think people are at their most attractive when they're relaxed and doing something they enjoy. Very few computer cams take flattering pictures.
Do you have any snapshots of you when you are relaxing with your family, or looking at your dad? Where you're smiling and relaxed? If I were you, I'd scan one of those in and isolate your face.
The pictures I've got of my husband that I most love are when he's with my son. Even if I crop only his face, there is a warmth about him that appeals.
There's nothing wrong with the basic ingredients, Jay. But presentation is everything. If this is something that you take seriously, it would pay off to invest some of your time in coming up with a photo that shows off your best features.
One of my favorite expressions ever about presentation was this clip.

Starting at 1:40.
I'm not saying your current picture presents you badly. Certainly not on a garbage can lid. But I am saying that if you want this to reap maximum benefits, you probably want to provide the best possible presentation. Have a bit of fun with it. It's a good time to review recent family photos, or to take new ones.
