This round had some excellent submissions. I am happy to see that you all have recovered from last round’s bland performance, and I’m also happy to see that some of you are really trying to prove yourselves to the judges.
britishboiii00 – This shot has nice modeling, a nice setting, and a nice representation of theme. However, niceness isn’t going to cut it this far into the competition. Half of the contestants who started this competition are now gone. I think you need to step it up from this shot if you want to make it to the end.
gxvgxv94 – This is definitely one of the more original and creative shots of the cycle so far. I like your representation of theme a lot, and the grey hair is another unique touch. Once again, I will say that I do enjoy simple shots. The model, a plain background, and one other exciting element (in this case the hair and red paint) is all I need. I hope to see more creativity and originality from you in the future.
xbeckywxx – I had pink last cycle during the color challenge, I never came across this shot. I’m glad you did! I think it’s outstanding. There is really nothing wrong with this photo: the hair, dress, background, face, and body language are all spectacular.
cwustu89 – I definitely understand and appreciate your interpretation of the photograph. I enjoyed reading something that wasn’t just “This is so beautiful and amazing,” but instead something meaningful. I love the dress and how she is somewhat drowning in fabric, and the facial expression speaks strongly as well.
Jermin119 – I was kind of confused about whether or not you know who Tyra Banks is. She is a supermodel and the creator of America’s Next Top Model, which all of the other modeling competition shows are based on. As far as the photo goes, I wasn’t wowed. I thought the shot was creative and interesting, but it wasn’t amazing and the representation of theme wasn’t too apparent. I would have thought this came from a pastry themed round. You have had good shots during the last few rounds, and I hope to see more of that next time.
TripleXXX – Honestly, I did not like this shot. The ANTM elegant couple shots are boring and I’ve seen enough of them to be underwhelmed by this. After you gave that snake photo last round, I thought you had finally outgrown the ANTM shots…but that was incorrect. I have nothing else to say other than you need to go more high fashion if you want to have a chance of staying in this competition until the end.
GoAlexandra – I enjoyed your interpretation of theme and I thought that the hair coming out looked somewhat like the sun’s rays. I think you needed to recover from last round and produce an amazing shot. This fell in the middle for me. You are on your way to the top again and this seemed like a stepping stone. The face of the model seemed somewhat strange to me but overall it is a decent shot.
