Assignment 2 - Stormy Seascape
@deviouslyvivid wanted to give a few general comments, which are below.
Comments from Deviouslyvivid
I just wanted to add a few general comments regarding editing. Mind you, I am by no means a photoshop guru. Don't even get me started on the struggles of drawing hair and cut/paste/manipulating body parts. I have neither the skill nor patience for such things. But there are some simple things you can do to give your photos that little extra. Pay attention to where your light source is coming from and where your shadows would fall. Don't be afraid to mess with the Levels/Curve/Exposure/etc in your editing program. And take advantage of the dodge/burn/transform functions. Small edits can have a huge impact on your image, making your sim look integrated into the background and the overall photo more cohesive. And don't be afraid to ask questions!! I am loving everyone's entries so far and I CAN NOT wait to see y'alls entries for assignment 3!
Here is the scoreboard for assignment 2
Congratulations to all of you and special congrats to the top 3. Well done everyone, the scores were close.

Assignment 3 - Black and White avant garde
Congratulations to you all. Avant garde is a tricky fashion. It refers to fashion, art, lifestyle or culture that is experimental or innovative and pushes the boundaries of what is accepted as the norm or the status quo, which all of you did, but there are similarities to Goth fashion. The scores were a bit more varied this round. Some of you, I felt leaned a bit more toward the "Gothy" than avant garde, even though there are similarities to both. Congrats to the placers. It was a tricky round.

We are at the halfway mark now and I always show the running scores halfway through, as sometimes they surprise you just how close some of you are, which you don't always expect, so give it all you've got for the second half.

Assignment 5 - Portraiture
Great round everyone. It was a tricky job for the judges and the scores were not that far apart. Congratulations to @xJojox for first place, @aussiekarima for second and @MyFavoritedesign for third. You all are winners in my eyes. The variety and differences were so interesting and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing them all.

Assignment 6 - Garden Scene
Congratulations to @Spudders_86 for coming first this round, @xJojox for second and @MyFavoritedesign for third. The scores were close this round, you all did really well.
The final entries were all well done, but the judges felt that some of these, although wonderful, were more Avant Guarde and Burlesque than Couture even though the explanation for Haute Couture was given, it is a tricky area and quite similar to Avant Guarde in some ways except that it is far more "High Fashioned". Some of you covered this well others were a bit triky to judge based on this.
Congratulations to the top 3 for the finale...these are...
