I really like how your analysis is presented visually. Sizing the pictures based on the number of likes they received gives viewers a nice way to see all of the data at once. It would also be interesting to see if different ages or genders are more likely to choose a certain category of profile picture. In addition, since you talk about liking pictures, you could tie this back to the Jenkins reading and participatory culture. The Facebook profile picture is something that one's friends interact with, and so it seems that each person is trying to achieve "spreadability" with their picture. That is, people are trying to encourage participation with the content they post.
