FIRST OFF, SOME WORDS FROM BEECH

This was another wonderful round of beautiful images. I really enjoyed judging this round, but it was definitely tough and really closely scored. You are all very awesome. Keep up this stunning work.


I want you to remember that this competition is about soft romanticism. That means going with urban or grunge or harder sex appeal may not merit good points from the judges (especially me). Keep to the cycle's theme!


We lose 1 person this round to elimination.

This is beautiful, Kendall. The vintage appearance to the whole thing and the muted colors worked beautifully to create a very soft romantic image. I really like the underwear choice and the side-profile shot is a good one. The pose also worked wonderfully. The pearls were a nice touch, but they weren’t exactly edited quite right. Good work overall, one of my favorites!

I love this image. I love the colours. The styling is quite and romantic. The angling is presented perfectly in this image. The only thing that I wish you had done differently is cut it off a little more at the top of Olivia’s shoulder blades. Overall lovely and my favourite of the round.

This is very adorable. I really liked the idea behind this and the tattoo was a really pretty tattoo. I like the side-swept hairstyle and I really like the contrast with the dark red background and Jessa’s fair skin. I’m not sure how romantic this is, but it was creative.

Beautiful quality in this image. I like your added extras in this image just to give it a little personality. I love the pose and how the hands wrap around the back to further highlight it. I also love the tattoo it was a creative addition to the image. I am not fussed on the clothing I would have preferred a naked back. Aside from that a great assignment.

I loved this, Vana. You did a great job focusing on a very sexy part of a woman and showing it in such a way that it isn’t raunchy. I loved the color scheme – although the yellow carpet seemed slightly out of place. I love the stockings and the way you posed her hands to increase the interesting features of the image. Great work this round.

You have defiantly highlighted the area of body well in this image, It has a sexy but soft feel with your colours used. I am not fussed on the backdrop of this image but aside from that a great pose nice angling overall good image.

I love that pink lingerie set. It’s very cute, vintage, and romantic. The lighting and coloring are also very romantic. The pose isn’t my favorite simply because the butt grab kind of takes away the romantic feel (and her thumb is meshing into her bum). But all in all, this is a good photo.

I Love your styling this round, well chosen. The pose is perfect for highlighting your chosen body part. The colours work well in this image. I am not fussed on the shading around the image and do wish the angling was a little bit more creative and dynamic. Overall a great image.

I loved the colors in this one and I loved that you focused on a very unique part of the body – at least as far as the other contestants go. As far as the example pic, it’s very similar. I like the pose though because it shows a vulnerable side of Romane. What I’m not sure about is the flowing silk (that’s the best way I could describe it. Is it supposed to be flowing across Romane’s back? It kind of looks too sheer and there’s not enough depth or shadow to it to be realistic. Otherwise, I’m not sure what that is.

I like the way you have presented this image, it is quite artistic. I love the colours you have chosen and your quality is great. The only thing I am not fussed on is the fabric it has not dimension to it at all and looks a little like smoke. Aside from that a lovely image.

This is pretty well-done. I think that the pose you selected was good for showing off the curves on Blake’s beautiful body. I think if one of Blake’s hands were doing something on her body that’s photographed (like the example pic) it’d be more interesting, though. The color scheme is good. I think the outfit’s mesh is a little poor quality though – there are lots of pixelated areas that degrade quality. Overall, a good entry.

I love the pastel colours you have used in this image. I love your styling that dress is elegant and sexy. Although I love the presentation of your assignment I am not sure which area I am meant to be looking at as the focus the chest area or the hips as both stand out in this assignment with the curve of Blake’s hips and the open cleavage. Aside from this a great job.

So, I really like the idea of showing off Nikki’s hand. It was a unique body part that really could have stood out as an excellent choice. However, the execution wasn’t the best. I think zooming in on the hand and focusing on it and the wine glass would have been a much more appealing shot. This one isn’t that great simply because of what you did with Nikki’s hair. It kind of makes me think of the grudge rather than some romantic bathtub scene…

I like the different and unique way you have taken this assignment. You diffinatly have the most creative set of the round. I like how you have presented Nikki’s hand and the quality is stunning. I don’t particularly like the hair I wish it was more elegant. I also feel that lacks a little sexy appeal. Overall a well exquited image.

Look at the sway in Maxime’s back! That’s a very sexy angle on her and I adore the contrast between the peach and black colors. I’m not so sure about the pose because it’s just not that exciting. If her hands were included, interacting with the clothing or on her hips or something it’d appear a bit more interesting. Overall, though, this is a nice entry.

Lovely quality in this image. I love the colour scheme. The styling is nice and works well for this assignment. The problem I have with this image is that I am not sure which body part you have chosen to focus on here, the chest or the hips they both stand out for me here with the angling you have chosen. Aside from this a good attempt.

I like that you paid attention to the details in the setting. I liked all the pink shades and the vanity was a good addition. This isn’t bad, but it’s a little on the raunchy side as opposed to the romantic side. I think stripper more than I think sexy romantic rendezvous. Great quality though!

I like the different take on the assignment and the angling. A very daring body part to choose. You have defiantly fulfilled the requirements for making sure the body part stands out, however it is a little too sexy it would have been better if the pose was not so sexy and a little bit more reserved. Overall a good attempt.

Vid - Dang it! I'm sorry to see you here and I wish you could continue, but this is how the scores worked out this round. I hope to see more of you in the future my dear!

I will do Jewitt :)

Voted for this! So glad it's here so soon!
Reserve me please. :D

Gotcha :)

@Pinky: You're Kendall right?

Can I sign up as a judge? :)

Beech, you can just call me Lily if you like. :-)

I know this will come as an almost unprecedented surprise, Beech...but please reserve me.

Oh for goodness sakes why you have to post this now! :cry:

Tempted....
