This was a really nice photoshoot, though Tyra needs to stop with the sepia...
1. Brittany: Wow… Brittany finally really impressed me. This picture is awesome. First things first, she looks quite tall, though that might just be the way she’s photographed. I think it’s an unbelievably regal photograph. I adore the look on her face and in her eyes, and she managed to turn her face to a really flattering angle. After seeing Brittany’s photos this season, I’ve learned that that’s actually not that easy to do. I didn’t watch the episode, but I have no idea how she got sent home for this photo when she’s had some truly huge clunkers in the past.
2. Erin: Everyone this week was a pretty big step below Brittany, but Erin and Nicole had strong photos as well. The way it’s photographed is kind of weird, but Erin manages to make this photo interesting nevertheless. I love the twist in her arm and the look on her face. I like how, given what could be potentially a distracting prop in the hat, she’s the one that manages to stand out.
3. Nicole: People are overreacting to this a little, but it’s a good photo. I like her approach to this photoshoot, and it’s got kind of a mystical quality to it, which is pretty awesome. That said, it’s just not that amazing a photo. It’s kind of boring and there’s something weird going on in her eyes, though quite a few girls had that this week. She was cut off at a weird point, too, though that’s not her fault.
4. Sundai: I could actually see this in some sort of fashion magazine, but it’s not the best photo. I love her body pose; it’s really elegant and she’s showing off the clothes extremely well. That said, DAMN she looks short. I mean, she is, but she looks it. Again, she’s got the weirdly haunted eyeball going on too, and it’s just a bad angle on that face.
5. Jennifer: It’s not horrible, and it’s actually one of her better photos so far, but it’s just not that great. I know a lot of it has to be the way it’s photographed, but she’s not doing anything in this photo other than staring off into the distance. Her face looks wonky. Like Erin, it’s a credit to her that she had a lot of accessories and whatnot placed on her, and she stands out, not the stuff, but her face just looks so bad here and the photo isn’t interesting.
6. Laura: I love her, but she’s been decidedly mediocre and it’s sad. She should leave soon (though definitely not before Jennifer and probably not before Sundai). She looks tall, but that’s the best thing I can say about this photo. Her pose is truly awkward; the arms holding the sticks are just horrible and she looks kind of like an amputee with the arm on the left. And her face! She doesn’t look like herself, which isn’t a bad thing, but what the hell happened to her eyeballs? It’s really creepy. I don’t like this photo at all…
