Despite the post AND private lessons, I must admit the last few pictures are still impossible for me to wrap my head around.

I can almost always find Ringo now, and often Paul – I'll take that as a win! But then John and George for some reason are a complete toss-up if I don't have the hat or slutty little glasses to go off of. And even then, I'm pretty sure you could put those glasses on George's face and I would be loudly and confidently wrong in declaring that this is John and anyone who says it's not is lying.

Anyway, thank you, this is the first time I've seen someone refer to George as the yassified Ringo and now I will never unsee it. :D

A win is a win!

Johns and Georges faces are both more (I would say that, I might be biased) conventionally attractive so their faces might be closer to the average face, as average is what we tend to find attractive. Bigger deviations from the mean make it easier to recognize someone, smaller deviations make it harder - so your struggle would make sense.

I've looked at the pictures again, trying to give you some more points to go off of, but I see the problem.

Generally I would say that John has wider features with more space in between that give him a more "open" look. Georges face looks less open in comparison. But then there are a few pictures where this doesn't apply.

I think the best I have is contrast. Johns complexion is lighter, there's less contrast between hair, skin and eyes.

Anway - thanks for reading and commenting!
