Critiques

Taylor:

Jared: What a huge, huge improvement from last round, Taylor! I love your outfit, it is super cute and even a little bit avante garde. Your pose is so adorable and I can tell from the background scenery that you are in the city... about to be run over by that big yellow cab. Once your out of the hospital though, I look forward to seeing you again next week.

Jensen:   Bravo Taylor!!!   This is what we're talking about.  I love the styling and the pose.   You look sassy and sexy all at the same time.  Great job!

Shai:I love this! You are like the Classy Mad Hatter of New York! You really have brought your game this round. The outfit, the personality in the shot and the Cityscape. Brilliant!

Selena:

Jared: When I first saw this shot I thought it was really good, but now that I'm getting a closer look at it, I'm less impressed than I initially was. The lighting feels a little dull to me and I see purple circles under your eyes, but I think they are extenuated by how pale you look, which is surprising. Great things about this photo are your hair, outfit, pose and scenery. I may not be as happy as I initially was, but I'm not exactly disappointed either.



Jensen:  This is really cute Selena.   I love the styling, the setting, your hair, your face.  I didn't notice the eye thing at first until I saw Jared's critique, now I can't unsee  them, but it's not too horrible for me.

Shai:I love the 'chill' factor in this and how beautiful and simple you look. I didn't notice the circles until Fu**ing Leto mentioned it. I love the way you are owning the shot with the city in the background. Nice job!

Naomi:

Jared: I gotta say, this is pretty big let down for me from last week. I still think your ad was fantastic. The problem I'm having with this photo is, for starters, there is a glare of white that is distracting. Now, I can't completely tell if that's a bad thing, because that outfit is so blue, it's TOO blue. I can't handle it, mostly because of those pants. The sweater I can deal with. I do like your pose though, and those shoes and sunglasses, and of course I can see the scenery of the city behind you, which is nice. Good luck!



Jensen:  Unfortunately, I dont' know you well enough to know if this is really you.  You're too far away, the giant sunglasses are all kinds of wrong for this challenge.   The glare is awful.  I'm sorry but so far, I've been your biggest fan, but this week, I can't be there for you.

Shai: I do not like the glare it washes out the entire shot and makes it look poor quality. I love the heels and the tude' you have but this isn't meeting the high standards that the rest of the crew is bringing this round.

Matthew:

Jared: Like Taylor, you decided to walk the city streets. Unlike Taylor, I see you not getting hit by the large yellow cab or anything else. I really like this photo. You stand out but let the city life do its thing as well as you strut down the street in that great outfit. I don't know that I have any negatives for this one other than how little space you are taking up and how MUCH space the cab is. But like I said earlier, I believe you were giving the city room to do it's thing so, well done!



Jensen:  Thank gosh you didn't slip back into dirty Matthew and gave us yet another stellar debonair photo.  This is gorgeous in every way.  Hopefully this week you get a placement you deserve.

Shai: I love this, I love the strut, I love how much of the city you provided to us and I love your style. Great Job!

Jennifer:

Jared: Jennifer, you and Selena share the same mindset as far as pose and simple make up and how to bring about showing us the city behind you. What you do better in this shot is the outfit and skin tone. Your face and hair are beautiful in this shot. My only complaint is that the city in the background is completely blurred over. I understand it is to make you the center of attention so I'm overlooking it because you did at least meet the requirements. Overall, I like this photo a lot, good work!



Jensen: I love your pose and hair.  You have the same problem as Selena with lines under your eyes only yours look like wrinkles going downwards, which makes you look extremely old.  

Shai: I love this picture, I love the eye contact you are making with the camera and your make up is fantastic. I think you are beautiful and not old looking at all.

James:

Jared: You, sir, presented a great night-time city photo... I am absolutely gaga over this shot. You look like a man who has taken over the city as his kingdom and your expression and outfit and everything is amazing. I love the city at night, it brings a soft glow to your features and I'm just totally impressed. Great work!



Jensen:  This is probably your best fitting shot so far.  The setting is great, the styling is great, I love a good profile.  Only problem I have, and it's minor, is this looks like a screen cap, but a good one.  

Shai: This is brilliant! I think its a great night shot of you shining like a star! No complaints from me this round. Well done!

Eva:

Jared: Let me start with the positives. Positives: You are definitely in the city and I kind of get a period vibe from this shot which makes it unique on its own. Negatives: I really dislike that outfit, I love that hat though, it's cute. Unfortunately, amongst all these professional photo shoot pictures, this is very clearly a production still and it loses the quality that the other photos maintain. Like Taylor and Matthew, you've chosen to walk the city, but like Jennifer's, it's blurred into the background, and I don't know that it's doing you any favors. Good luck!



Jensen:  This is nice.  Like James, it looks like a screen cap but with more quality issues, but not a whole lot.  I think you look gorgeous and elegant.

Shai: I like this, I do not hate it like Rock Star assholes who judge in this game.. I wish you looked a little less concerned and happier in the shot. I enjoy the 'period' clothing, I just wish it was closer to you and less distraught.

Ayumi:

New York, New York! Meet your new Statue of Liberty!

Jared: Ayumi, like James, you chose a night time shot of the city and like James, I love it! You command the city as the new Lady Liberty and that outfit is to die for. I'm going to have to cut this short because that's all I've got. Really great job!



Jensen:  Gorgeous!  Beautiful.  There's them Asian hands that I love so much.  The curves are fantastic.   My only MINOR complaint is the quality looks awful around your face but otherwise, this photo is awesome.

Shai: I think the quality is good, and I freaking love this. I mean way to go Pro!
