Hi, anyone can tell me if this is correct?

You didn't seem excited about doing it. That's the image you gave off.
That's the last image I have of him; on his death bed.


Thanks

"about" is more used for something with written content.

A book will be about a topic.
A picture will be of a subject.

So it's an image of the country, not an image about the country.

Hi alpha ca,
could you tell me if this is correct and natural? Would you say give off?

You didn't seem excited about doing it. That's the image you gave off.
That's the last image I have of him; on his death bed.

Is change image just correct or is it also natural?
I want to change the image people have of people from my country.

Thank you!

I think for "You didn't seem excited about doing it", it might be better to say "That's the feeling you gave off".

If you say "that's the last image I have of him; on his death bed", it could also sound like you are talking about a photograph. It might be better to say "that's the last memory I have of him". Image does work too, but be aware of its double perc
