Only six of you are left and yet again some of you have hit your peak, whereas some of you have slipped back to week one! Good luck to all of you and the critiquing will now commence...
Deena - You're literally unstoppable in this competition and yet again you still manage to impress me. I love how you've delivered a beauty shot, but still managed to include the dark/mysterious element I wanted without going over the top, which some models have struggled to grasp the concept of. Your eyes are strong and powerful. The structure of your face is beautiful and I really love this photo. It reminds me of something from Black Swan which is a great thing to achieve, as I love that film! You never fail to impress me and you're become untouchable.
Erin - Wow! This is like a breath of fresh air to me. You look so vulnerable and delicate, but you also manage to bring a high fashion edge to this picture which is incredibly hard to find the balance. You won best photo last week and you're really starting to show yourself to be a strong contender. I look at this photo, and I'm instantly drawn to your eyes...they're just magical! I'm so impressed with how you've performed once again this week, well done!
Brendina - When I first saw this photo I was really impressed, but then I remember that I also wanted a beauty shot, not just the dark/mysterious element. I love the contours of the body but the face is just too demonic and I don't see a beauty shot here! Your lips are very pursed and it makes you look like you're pouting a bit too much. You were in the bottom two last week which meant you had a lot to prove to me this week, but I don't think you've done that!
Ali - Brendina's problem was that she went too much towards the dark element, but you seem to have completely forgotten about it! I do see a high fashion beauty shot, but the mysterious effect that I wanted isn't there which lets me down a bit as it shows you haven't understood the brief. I can't deny that this photo isn't beautiful, but it's just too nice and I find it quite forgettable compared to the others. This photo of yours is one of my least favourites and I'm quite disappointed with you Ali.
Venus - This photo is eye catching and I love the fierce attitude that you've brought to it. But do I see a beauty shot? The answer to that is no. This photo is too much posing for a beauty shot. Beauty shots should be naturally beautiful which should look effortless, but in your case it looks like you've tried too hard which is something that I don't want from a beauty shot! This photo would have been much more suitable for the Halloween theme. You were flying at first in this competition, but now you're falling to the background.
Mikai - Every week you've been up and down Mikai, but this week you've come straight back up and delivered a photo which completely fits the brief! I think this photo is absolutely stunning and I love everything about it including the styling! Your eyes tell a story and I find it very dark and mysterious, which is exactly what I asked for. My only slight problem with this photo is your hands! They look very dead and flat and look as if they've been stuck to your face. Overall, this has been a good week for you, congratulations!
