This was a tough week overall I think. There were some great photos, but a lot of photos that had good intention but lacked the execution.

@Maris: This photo is a step up from last week, but still there is nothing that really jumps out at me as super strong, but nothing that is majorly wrong either. The face is strong, but I’m not sure of the emotion you are portraying. It looks to me like you have an evil secret, which given you have 3 lovely men fawning over you actually works, but I wish you had just pushed this theme a bit further.
@Jane: Having worked with this theme I know how hard it was to get 4 people fully in a frame so I can see why you had them sit and you stand as a central focal point. I actually love the styling choices, but it’s giving duck duck goose vibes the way they are sitting. Maybe having them kneel or something would have been better, but you look fantastic in the photo.
@Cristi: This is a very cute photo. You do look flirty but in a very commercial way. I would have liked to see something a bit more dynamic here. I will say doing a red dress with that purple hair was going to be tough and I think you managed it well by having it tied up and not touching the dress at all. I do think you could have styled this with a nice necklace to put something between the dress and hair.
@lluckygc: Very commercial. The trouble with sitting poses facing directly to the camera is you look short and you can’t display the gown well. I think if you had sprawled out on that couch and given us something a bit edgy in the face this would have been a great photo.
@Brat: I like the story you are telling in this photo. There is a lot going on but you still have the focus. I don’t particularly like the smoking but I see how it adds to the story. Small thing but I wish the head of the rose was tilted against your skin as a background because right now its blending in with the dress a bit too much. Good photo overall!
@Medusaluh: I like that you did something different. Unfortunately you hand looks very disconnected in the image and you have two thumbs. If I ignore that blunder, the rest of the photo is fun and stands out among the group which was difficult with how particular the brief was this week.
@Sprite: I see the vision, but honey the execution took a flight to Kovazia. My main issues with the photo are with your body proportions. The way you sit makes your hip and shoulder look massive and almost disconnected from your body. Also you lose all shape and the dress gets very bunched up. I wish you had caught some of those details because this could have been atop photo with the rest of the stylistic choices you made.
@MissKant: Ok so now I see what’s happening here. Its very much so a Jaylyn sleeps with a night light situation going on (IFKYK). With that said I do like the choices you made stylistically and the pose is better than most. The model’s hand on your leg is backward which I can’t seem to not notice, But I do sort of enjoy the detail that all these men seems to be married…..
@GatoPisado: Again, I know how hard this photo was to get things to be realistic, but you are completely eliminating the model in the middle’s legs. Now, I’m not an ableist maybe he doesn’t have legs, but having his shoes poke out from the dress would help. Speaking of shoes, I would have like to have seen at least one of yours. You lose you other leg behind your front leg. I like the idea here, but I think you needed some additional refining.
@KaliMinaj: not as strong as last week, but I do enjoy the photo. You look stunning, but careful with you knee pointed directly to camera that always makes your leg look shorter. Maybe a necklace works here? I also don’t like the model in the back’s hands for some reason. Otherwise, it’s a good photo.
@Antog: I like how you played with the lighting and dimension having the models at level with you and one below. It does add some dynamic elements to the photo. Your ace got a little cartoony but I think mostly because you are being backlit. If you had moved the light source forward the light would be hitting you from the front rather than behind and that would have helped.
@Akaliuchis: I like how you are interacting with the models in this shot. There is movement, emotion in your face, and a certain poise in this photo. I do wish your foot wasn’t blocking your other foot. Also, where can I meet those triplets? Asking for myself.
@Manyomash: The proportions are just slightly off, but I think this might be the best photo of the week. The pose and interaction with the other models is great, and the theme and styling was done well too. Because you have a mask, your face is losing some of the expression I need, but the body language and mouth still tell the story well. The hair is getting a bit disconnected again just watch that if you choose another ponytail styling.
