Your avatar just looks like a pretty mountain scene to me. Something out of "Stuart Smalley Visits the Von Trapp's Mountain Estate" or something. Perhaps you need to trim it down a little - rather like the way Todd trimmed his down a while ago - so we can get the point of the image.

Or maybe go with [link|http://images.google.com/images?q=battlemech&svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&start=40&sa=N|this] one:

HTH!
