Hello models, While this category seemed pretty simple and easy to execute and not make a mess, I see a couple of you struggled and I don't really understand why so good luck to everyone. Camell22 - I really enjoy the overall vibe that you went for, it being nighttime, the color of your fit being red and black, it's very nice. While I appreciate the posing, it's not flattering at all, we lose your face and it's not a "high fashion" pose at all, it's more of a casual after dunking some getting photographed incognito. ToriMarie - Out of all of the hanging on the rim ones, yours is I think the best one. The sky being just turned into nighttime complements your skin tone so well, the pose is very well executed and your face reads as soft. Pretty good in general. Goomybear - I'm no basketball professional but the proportions seems a bit off, the whole hoop being as big as his torso and the backrim being like twice his torso side idk it looks weird. The ambience is really flattering, the sun setting hits your face perfectly. The pose is original at least, nobody sat backwards showing us their back and still served face. Nike x Balenciaga campaign? Seong - Another weird proportion or angle photo cause why is he in the air holding onto the rim and so close to the ground at the same time? It looks like if he were to get up he'd be taller than all of it lol. The angle is the most interesting part of the photo but nothing about your outfit screams fashion, it's a dirty white lon sleeve shirt and some dirty socks. RobbieRiot - The physics of this photo is totally a MESS. The only part touching something is your thigh, the rest is floating there, it's such a weird choice, it looks suuuper AI. The outfit is cunty but the pose is a mess, the bent arm giving the ball is too heavy to being lifted, your face gives me nothing and also you made your model look like 15 years older than before. Idk if it's the makeover or what but this is veeery messy for what we're used to see from you. Thiii - Brazil! This is very subtle and very safe. There's nothing completely wrong with this picture which at least it's more than most this week, but also it's just too soft and subtle all around. The face, the pose, the outfit, everything is just safe. Honey - I like that you went for non athletic clothes for the shoot, but there's too much black on black on black that I can barely see the full outfit with her pose being so... Clumped? If she were like on her knees having her torso lifted up, everything would be clearer and it would have let you play with your face expression s but more. The lighting at least in your face looks good. Sam - Damn... This is goood. This is an ad for some athletic clothing line that we have already seen. Him spinning the ball is what really takes it that further step. This is for sure your "safest" pose so far but it looks cohesive and elegant, it looks like a literal ad. Hate the dirty shoes tho, some white people shit, some air forces that we've already seen. Body looks rights face looks right, wish a little bit closer to I didn't have to zoom in on it but I'll take it. Poof - The pose is very unflattering, he seems out of control of his legs, they are just opened, bent and all over the place, it doesn't look like all of it is intentional. I get that AI made your pit look weird but it's very distracting. What I do like is the outfit is nice, and how the sun hits him making him look sweaty but glossy at the same time. Cookie points for lucky number 23 ❤️ Dailyicon - I get that you felt like you had to take a risk but idk if this is the risk that needed to be made. It looks overall like a mess. This exact photo you take away the cheap fire effects and add a real background with some nice lighting and it's a contender for top photo, cause the outfit eats, your face expression is strong and you make your ball spinning as Sam's and yours probably would look better than his, but you went for a campy fire weird vibe that I'm not really understanding why. Lewis - WTF is this again? Lmao 🤣 You love a hit or miss photo and this one unfortunately for me, it's a miss even tho you look SNAAATCHED. The proportions of your legs look completely wrong, they're double your torso size. The facial expression while you tried something that could have worked, they don't look the same in the photo and the reflection, the angles are off. I don't really understand why the net had to be modified to that texture hahaha I'll give you cookie points for having a cute top with my lucky number 23 ❤️ Tisha - Meeeh I understand that you can't always go for a super dark vibe since it's predictable and you've done a couple times but I think it would have worked better here more than this being taken in such the middle of the day. Your legs look out of control and not creating very flattering lines. Your arms on the other hand do look very intentional and creating a good balance. From waist up it looks good, but waist down it looks messy. Cookie points for lucky number 23 ❤️ Tayvie - I can for sure see the vision you were going for, but the problem I'm having is the same as daily's, if you take out the camp element of the lighting and make it realistic, it actually raining it would look so much better, cause the water splash already creates a really effective effect to the photo. I would have like for the hoop to be higher so it doesn't seem that he could actually dunk without jumping basically. It's almost there, just more high fashion vision and less camp would have taken you higher. muribolt - I'm so excited for your new hair, this way you won't be able to hide your face. You went for the same vibe as Camell, but a little bit better executed, you are giving face while also being poured water after playing, it looks intentional and not like a friend was taking a pic after practice. You're the only female model that went for long pants and I appreciate that, it looks cool and not hyper sexual which is missing this season and specially you love serving sex most of the times. I wish the pants didn't blend in so much with it being so dark and the buildings in the back. bosslady - While I think this is a good photo and people will like it, on a personal level, I don't really enjoy it, it's too monochromatic and nothing this outfit is serving is giving me athletic. The pose and face are fine, but the overall vibe is ruined by that tacky outfit that isn't even part of the theme. A tiny bit of lighting in your would have been great as well we don't lose you so much. I'm so happy that last week is over, it was boring af. I feel like a lot of you have left the safe route which I enjoy, I remember last season having to close all of my critiques BEGGING the girls to give me something more than safe, and at least you aren't afraid to go for it and make it interesting, cause a lot of the bottom ranked photos with a few tweaks could get my #01 for sure. Also, please be careful with proportions and physics maybe it's just a me thing but most of them don't look right this week. Ranking #04 1. Sam 2. ToriMarie 3. Muribolt 4. Thiii 5. Camell22 6.

Laura you are the best! She just randomly gifted me my new silver hair from #DNTM3! Thank you! :)

Just did write ups and accidentally closed the tab, so now it will be one sentence each LOL :) I'm lowkey fuming, but the show must go on. #DNTM3 dimitra Let's see who brought their A game tonight. robbieriot Critique: Honey you already know I don't like this it's so low energy and awkward. She reminds me of a sloth, just so vacant in the face and the body is not engaged properly. I appreciate the risky pose and love the placement of the ball, but it's not clicking for me as usual. 6.9/10 muribolt Critique: I'm obsessed with the makeover and I'm obsessed with this shot. The water squirting in the face adds a really cool effect and I love that the mug stayed strong through it. The water does look a little fake, but the pose/face are strong regardless. 9.5/10 goomybear Critique: I go back and forth with this shot. It does kinda look depressing, dull, and defeating like he just lost the championship game and is subjecting himself to a humiliation ritual to make up for letting the team down. However, the jacket and the ball placement are really fun. I appreciate that there's a high fashion element and do think the face turning adds a lot of intensity. Body language turned away from the camera is dangerous, but the styling being focused on the jacket makes up for it. This is solid overall. 7.5/10 sam Critique: this just....blows a lot of the girls out of the water ngl. The ball spinning was such a genius idea and a staple when it comes to basketball. Adds a dynamic quality to the shot, and this man looks STUNNING. The camera being tilted up at him adds a lot of dominance and the quality of this shot is the best of the bunch. The DNTM on the jersey was so creative. Of course I'm not the biggest fan of a static pose. I do think to be at the top of the pack you need to give something extra with body positioning MOST OF THE TIME. But he looks amazing and I think this is very well thought out. 9.6/10 dailyicon Critique: this is a lot of fun, I love your approach of a basketball court from hell. The fiery aesthetic fits this man's persona and his face is radiating with intimidation. Body positioning is interesting, love love love love the hand digging into the rim of the hoop. It makes it look less AI slobbish. my only problem really is I do wish the ball was spinning. It looks a little strange just sitting there on the pointer finger. overall, great job! 8.8/10 camell22 Critique: My crush.....but there's a major problem with this shot. It is the placement of the water/water bottle hitting his face. The arm should have been lifted higher and water drizzling down strategically, rather than it being so close to his face that it's smothering his eyes and disconnecting us from any emotion in his face. He kinda looks like he got maced, and it's a shame because the legs are looking so yummy. It's just completely lost in the face, which throws off the whole shot. 7/10 bosslady Critique: The all red is really unflattering and is hurting my eyes. You wouldn't be able to tell the shot was based off basketball if the ball wasn't sitting there in the picture. I love how long she looks and that the face is sharp like Naomi Campbell. Modeling-wise, you can tell she thought about posing/emoting. It's just the styling that's really bad here with the background and the outfit. 7.2/10 tayvie Critique: FINALLY YOU DID YOUR BIG ONE. This is really fucking good and could easily be in a magazine. I could see any major NBA player doing exactly this after winning the championship game. The lightning hitting at just the perfect time, FINALLY THE FACE IS GIVING MODEL AND HAS THAT STRENGTH IT NEEDS. Only problem, a little more intensity in the eyes would've brought this all together. But it's still fabulous. 9/10 lewis Critique: I'm just confused. His body language is really stiff, the styling of the background does not match the outfit at all. Is it supposed to be empowering or is he checking himself out in the hoop to make sure the pimple from a few days ago is healing ok? I get it was meant to kinda be allusive, perhaps I'm being too hard on it? I do like how the net hair flows so long like his hair. I just don't get what's really happening. 6/10 torimarie Critique: hands down the best shot of the night like it's not even close. The proportions and angles are so gorgeous, I love everything is a straight line minus the one leg that adds the perfect amount of curvature. The hues of the background make her skin glow, the hair is flowing just right. You can tell she loves her makeover. It just looks so effortless for her, yet you can tell behind the scenes how much body strength it took to create a photo like this. This is your shining moment, miss Marie!! 10/10 tisha Critique: love the movement so much here, you can tell the photographer was counting you in and making sure you hit those steps at the right moment. The lunge forward just creates such an interesting shape, I love the styling, and I'm obsessed with her makeover. The hand backwards on the rim is the finishing touch I needed to secure this at top of the pack. It's just so good I can't. 9.6/10 honey Critique: We lost one leg, and we almost lost one leg as well. The other foot looks really distorted and unflattering. We can't really see details in her eyes, but I do enjoy the face most of everything. I do think this is messy and lacks a full-formed vision. It's not your best work. 6.5/10 poof Critique: Interesting shape with the body and love how you made the most of a really shitty makeover. It looks like he has amazing control over his body, the spread eagle effect just completely stretches him out in all the right ways. It's a clean shot, but I'm thinking dirty thoughts too. Great job! 8.7/10 thiii Critique: Honey.....you know I'm a big fan of you...but this is not it. I will always love a touch of country pride, but you just did not push it far enough at all. I mean...she looks sad. Like the sun is setting on her WNBA career. I wish there were other elements on Brazil incorporated in the background or in the hoop styling. She just looks so out of place. I think in terms of sports too, the outfit itself just does not scream basketball. I'm getting more of a tennis vibe from her. Who is this girl, where is she going, what is she trying to portray? I just don't know. You may be in trouble my good sis. 6.2/10 seong Critique: This is right in the middle of the pack for me. The play with the angle is my favorite part, It looks like he's swinging right into the camera or as if the net is moving with him. It's very allusive and also disguises my short kings height. Again you manage to take an approach that not many people thought of and your ability to think outside the box makes you stand out in a good way. I'm just wondering if this is editorial or advertorial? Cuz I can easily see this being an ad for nike. I don't take that as a bad thing, but I wonder what the judges will think. Good job! 8/10 Callout: 1. Torimarie 2. Tisha 3. Sam 4. Muribolt 5. Tayvie 6. DailyIcon 7. Poof 8. Seong 9. Goomybear 10. Bosslady 11. Camell22 12. RobbieRiot (girl so lucky) 13. Honey 14. Thiii 15.
