Alesha



Analeigh: I think the weakness here is the size, it's a bit small imo. I do like your intense look, and it is very editorial... this just doesn't have the oomph factor here.

Colin: The size definitely plays a part in this I can't see much of anything because the size is so small not the best

Hyuna: i too think the size is really small so I can't get a good look on your face. and since the theme of this is couture, I feel like this isn't over the top enough. best of luck

Nina: The dress is couture, the pose is editorial, everything would be great if it wasn't so darn small!!!

Angelina



Analeigh: You took a risk here, and I love it. You do look like you're morphing into a black raven, and it's very editorial. I'm not a big fan of your face, but besides that, this is a great photo.

Hyuna: lol i remember seeing this picture before and I really like it. it's definitely over the top enough for couture. and even though the feathers are covering you, I can still see you pop out of the feathers. if there had to be one thing I had to complain about, it would be the expression. I wish you were looking at the camera and giving a fierce expression or something.

Colin: I can only agree with what the others have said its a great photo but your connection to the camera is missing

Nina: I don't mind when people don't look at the camera as long as it works and this works. This is very good.

Aura



Analeigh: Oh dear... I'm not a fan this week, Aura. I think the pose is editorial and that's about it. The face is what really gets me... it just looks more orgasmic than anything. :x

Colin: I was going to wait until all the photos were submitted to submit my critque but then I saw this and knew I had an easy choice for my least favorite. I agree about the face but at the same time the photoshoot was looking for something editorial but high fashion at the same time and this is in my opinion trashy and the open pants doesn't help at all. You really need to step it up if you stay

Hyuna: oh aura.....:/ i was really hoping for a comeback this week. but this isnt editorial/couture at all. the clothes i feel are too casual to be editorial. and the facial expression, well, i think the other judges said it all. good luck aura

Nina: Unfortunately I don't think you did understand the theme. But I can get why you wouldn't but, the example was by far an excellent example. Plus, google, is your friend. I was hoping for a comeback as well, and a better choice on the face, but unfortunately, this is not good.

Emily



Analeigh: I like this! Props for doing your research. The dress is very high fashion and I like the setting... only thing missing is a stronger pose.

Colin: last week we gave us a shot that showed an artistic exmple of you and this week you showed us I think depth in your photo I do agree you need a stronger pose but this is a step up from last week good work

Hyuna: beautiful! the dress is definitely editorial. but like analeigh, i wish the pose was as fierce as the dress

Nina: This is nice. I do like the Ellie Saab reference. I like the dress. I like your face and your pose is nice. But I'm just not wow'd, but I do like.

Emma



Analeigh: What I love about this photograph is your little red riding hood outfit. It is very high fashion so I think you nailed it... your face is a little dull and that's the biggest problem I have. Nice work!

Hyuna: im on the fence about this one. altho i feel this is definitely editorial, i feel like the red dress is just devouring you. i feel like if it was just the dress underneath the hood i wouldve loved it.

Colin: Colin: Emma I see your up to your magical ways again and in a shoot like this I think you nail the editorial part and the modeling part is SO so too

Nina: I agree, the couture is here but the modeling is not he best. Well, it's not horrible either. It's your face, it's tiny in comparison to everything else. But overall it's a pretty good photo.

Eva



Analeigh: I adore this photo. I think you're going to be a force to be reckoned with, Eva. I love the outfit, the face, the pose, the setting... you are working it. Your hands look a little but uncomfortable/awkward but that's very mild. THis is my favorite photo so far, great job!

Colin: Honestly I'm not that impressed with this. The connection to the camera is there and the fashion in the dress is there you've hit the given theme for the week my problem with it is that your pose is bland

Hyuna: i actually love the pose. the one thing im concerned about is im not sure if the dress is couture enough for me. i feel like the dress is too casual to be couture/editorial. but i really like the facial expression i think its fierce. you did a good job though!

Nina: Where some hit the couture part you hit the editorial part. This is very good. The pose isn't bad at all, and while I"m not in love with the expression, it's not horrible either.

Jennifer



Analeigh: I agree that this is dramatic, and I definitely see high fashion here. What I don't like is the head being tilted back, it looks uncomfortable and ruins what could be a great photo.

Hyuna: im actually in love with this. I think this looks like a marilyn monroe inspired photo and I see her do a lot of the head tilt. dress is definitely editorial. the black and white adds to the drama. I just really love this. One thing I wish you did though was crop out that negative space out.

Colin: I like this the only thing I'm not sure of is the angle of your neck and your facial expression

Nina: Everything is perfect except your expression. The pose, the angles, the dress, everything. Just watch your expressions.

Lindsay



Analeigh: I was really worried you wouldn't make it in time, so I'm glad you made it. Like what I've been telling a lot of the girls, size matters- if this had been bigger, then we could have seen more. I do see a couture element here, I just don't love it- there's something off about this photo.

Hyuna: yeah i agree i wish that the picture is bigger. but from what i see here, I think this is couture looking. One thing that I'm not a fan about is your sleeves. they make you look like a bird. And I'm not too sure about the expression, mostly because I can't really see it.

Colin: I think the pose could use work but it's an amazing photo

Nina: This is very couture, but the nylons could be removed or replaced with full ones. They make it border on trashy. But the rest is good, the shawl or whatever that red thing is, makes this work for the theme. Good job.

Marina



Analeigh: I didn't think that Marina would have a large portfolio, so I'm glad you found something. Obviously the photo would be better without the article next to it, but I like the outfit and the pose... this just doesn't wow me.

Hyuna: i think this is okay. the whole look is very editorial. I wish it was a stronger pose and i think this would be fine.

Colin: Sorry to be so short but I agree this is good but it's not great

Nina: The theme did say Editorial/Couture, this is definitely Editorial. It's high fashion and very good. I think it's almost great. Your pose is good but I'm not sure if it's your head or the outfit but while your shoulders look straight back, your head seems to lean forward. Otherwise, take away all that writing and this would be damn great!

Alright ladies! The judges are deliberating, and elimination will be posted sometime tonight, as well as your next photoshoot. Good luck!
