Hello Models!!!
You need to submit a photo to represent a Nightlife. Let's start the judging and elimination for this week.
Team 7 Deadly Sinners
JY: Wow!! Another solid photo from you Dave. I love how simple this photo is and you convinced me, Dave. I love the styling so much. From the pant to the jacket and shoes, you nailed it. Beautiful setting as well. Great job

EVALUATION:
AYUBOT thinks it must be lonely being the only person in town. That floor looks too clean to be just closed for the night. DAVE ANNABLE has failed to convince AYUBOT's robotic, logical programming on fitting the theme. AYUBOT does like the fashion displayed in the photograph. AYUBOT also thinks modelling is strong.
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT:
Extending the neck can bring photos to another level for both males and females. AYUBOT feels the slouching pose brings the photograph down.
Sean: Hey Dave, I'd be happy to come keep you company tonight. I don't need to be able to see the night sky to feel a Nightlife vibe from a photo; I feel it in this shot. I love the setting and I love how you're modeling. I do wish I could have gotten a more intoxicated vibe from you in this shot as that would have made the theme connection stronger, but other than that, I have no real complaints about this photo.
Jensen: This is really cool. I like your styling and setting. Everything looks good. It would be nice if maybe there was a bit more action but overall, good job!
Jensen: I definitely see night life here, but I dont' know how I feel overall. You both look strung out. The pose is nice, and you look like you had fun, I'm just not sure how I feel about the whole vibe though.
JY: Garrett, this is million miles... wait.. billion miles better than your photo last week. This is what nightlife is all about. You have fun, it's wild and crazy and I love it. I think your expression last week is better but other than that, this is amazing. I'm a fan!!!

EVALUATION:
It was not a good idea to crash into AYUBOT's house for this photoshoot. It appears to AYUBOT that GARRETT HEDLUND was drunk and his female accomplice was on drugs. So much that her face got stuck like that. Perhaps it was the shock of AYUBOT dismantling the car. AYUBOT enjoys the fashion element of this photo, but also feels it lacks a strong modelling base.
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT:
Remember to show us what you can model. AYUBOT sees clothing in this picture, but does not see it being sold to her.
Sean: The quality of this photo may be a bit on the low side, but in this instance, I feel it's actually very fitting and feels like it's purposely done. There's definitely a very trashy vibe to this shoot, but no one ever said your Nightlife had to be portrayed as being classy in this shoot. I feel like everything in this shot is tied together beautifully. Your posing, expression, styling, setting, and atmosphere all compliment one another. And while you have a partner in this shot, she's not really stealing any of the focus from you. I think it helps that you're looking at the camera and her face is angled towards you (even if her eyes aren't). So, the action in the photo is centering on you and you're the one giving the energy to the camera. I'm actually finding that the more I talk about this photo, the more I realize I like it. Great work, Garrett.
Jensen: I like this. Casinos aren't strictly a night time activity, but I prefer them at night time. You look great, and your pose and expression are kind of hip. I'm glad for the words on the bottom though because bare feet can really gross me out and turn me right off a whole photo. Yes you have sandals on but that's gross too lmfao
JY: I think your style is quite corny here but I love the whole concept. The setting is great. I definitely can see the nightlife here. You look like a model which is the best part of this photo. My only advice to you is to stop gambling. It's not healthy. Other than that, this is a great photo.

EVALUATION:
AYUBOT is surprised they let JOSH DUHAMEL in with those shoes. AYUBOT feels the whole outfit is tacky and out of fashion, but that probably could do with the theme in itself.
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT:
AYUBOT would like to see a range of expressions in JOSH DUHAMEL's eyes.
Sean: Ok, so I can read the nightlife well in this photo and your posing is nice. The setting is very fitting, too, cause when I think of casinos, I don't really think of a daytime activity (even though they're open all the time). I just hate the way you're styled and the only reason I can think of as to why you'd dress like that is because you were wanting me to come over and rip those clothes off your body
JY: Oh hey player!!! Two girls in the same night. I'm impressed. I don't like how you look so short in this photo. I don't mind short guys, but this is a modeling competition and to me, it's a sin to put 'short' and 'model' in the same sentence unless you're Tyra Banks. Especially for a male model. I think height is really important. But other than that, I love the concept. Your style is so 'Chuck Bass' and I love it.

EVALUATION:
AYUBOT detects strong theme connection in this photograph. AYUBOT also detects a high fashion content in this photo. However, AYUBOT feels the modelling brings the photograph down. AYUBOT likes the caught in the moment vibe of the photo, but the angle of the face, and your apparent height are bad factors.
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT:
Be the tall man, and know what's a good angle.
Sean: As Jae already said, height is pretty important in the modeling industry, so the fact that the girls make you look short is pretty bad. It also doesn't help that we commented on how young you looked last round and these girls dwarfing you only makes you look younger. However, I do love the way you're styled in this photo and the concept is actually very strong. It could have just done with a bit better execution.
Jensen: You are short, and it looks it here. That's not too bad though, it could work if you were styled differently. I get why you're styled this way, it's the whole shoot's vibe, but I'm not loving it, only because I don't like it on you, otherwise, it's a good set. I like the theme here. Good just not great.
Jensen: Glad you brought up the first round because my gosh your face just mesmerized me there. I like this. The darkness, the lights coming in through the doorway on the floor, the candles burning, and yes, the B&W, it's all beautifully done.
JY: I love this. I don't mind the b&w because it gave the nightlife mood more to this photo. Great styling ant the setting is so beautiful. Great job again.

EVALUATION:
Unlike my two colleagues, AYUBOT does not see the nightlife element in the photograph. AYUBOT acknowledges LIAM HEMSWORTH is a handsome man, with impeccable fashion sense, but AYUBOT would prefer to see a unique pose and expression to accompany the photograph.
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT:
Posing.
Expression.
Try a colour photograph next time too. AYUBOT is worried her colour receptors are malfunctioning.
Sean: I'm loving you and this photo. You are dressed and styled perfectly and I see no problem connecting you to the theme. This shot feels appropriate being in black and white, but I do have to agree with Ayubot that I'd like to see a color shot from you soon. This is only your second photo that's not in full color, so it's not a problem at this point. That comment is just more of a pre-emptive one so that you don't submit another black and white (or sepia) photo next round and have us then count off for something we didn't mention beforehand.
Jensen: This is very funny, and fun lol And colourful. But I don't get night life from it. Maybe it's cuz it's light out but something that said night life about it would help me.
JY: I think this photo would be better in black & white. Because the sunlight is too visible. I love the concept. Very crazy and fun but the sunlight is too obvious.

EVALUATION:
AYUBOT believes this photograph is much better than MISHA COLLINS' last photograph. Perhaps MISHA COLLINS is on his way to a night out here, around 8 o'clock in the summer time? AYUBOT thinks the fashion in this photograph is avant garde, but in a night out, this might get you beaten up. AYUBOT agrees with JAE YOO. Black and White would have worked better.
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT:
Experiment with colours, brightness, contrast and black and white before you submit. This may help give photos an extra edge.
Sean: I personally don't see a problem with the way Misha is dressed. It's all about where he is going cause there are different places where different attire is appropriate and there are areas where going dressed in a proper suit could get you beaten up. The daylight being out does detract from the nightlife aspect of the photo, but even with it being daylight out, I still get the nightlife vibe from Misha, and I feel that has to count for something. Big step up from you this week, Misha. You still have more to go to reach the top, but this week we're seeing a definite improvement.
Jensen: This is lovely. I love your connection with the camera. The lighting is good for this. Looks great.
JY: The lighting is quite dark but it's appropriate for this week shoot. Your styling is very sleek and smart. I love how confident you look here. But the pose is quite boring. I think you need to loose your body a little bit cause you were quite stiff in this photo

EVALUATION:
This photograph has left AYUBOT feeling extremely underwhelmed. TOM HARDY is just standing and staring in this photograph. AYUBOT feels this photograph is not strong enough. AYUBOT loves the jacket though, but does not feel it's showcased very well.
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT:
Excite the judges with some poses and some faces.
Sean: Yeah, this photo fits the requirements of the shoot, but it's not very interesting beyond that. The styling is appropriate, the setting is appropriate, and it's just overall on an appropriate level. The problem is that there's nothing I love about any aspect of the photo. At least there's also nothing I hate about any aspect of it, either. it's just a very safe shot and that's probably what you'll be with this shot: safe.
Team Hangovers
Jensen: I'm on a really slow computer so I figured if I start now with those that have submitted, I might be done by the time the others have submitted lol
First let me say, I love your siggy, your eyes are amazing. AND you're a three time winner? Bravo! Boys, you better watch out!!!
Anyway lol onto my critique. This is fun!! I really like this. First, bravo for braving the waters with older women, they really know what they're doing, and from the looks of this photo, they're doing it right. And you, I go right to you. You look very very nice. Great job Bradley!!
JY: This photo is so naughty and cheeky. I think you can do more here, either with the pose or the expression. The girls want you so much but you don't seem to enjoy this situation as much as the female models. But I really like the concept. Good job on that

EVALUATION:
Unfortunately for BRADLEY COOPER, AYUBOT is here to judge him. BRADLEY COOPER does not seem too thrilled about the old lady's foot against his face. In a group shot, your job is to outshine the others, but AYUBOT feels like the blonde woman takes the spotlight. The way the body is positioned is relaxed, but it takes away length of the body and can leave it looking amputated.
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT:
Be aware of the positioning of the body.
BERENICE AYUBOT WANTS ENERGY!
Sean: I typed out a long critique for this photo and then when I hit "Post Reply" the site told me to sign in. Grr... Anyway, I'll try to touch on everything I said, but it'll probably be a more abridged version. I think this photo meets the requirements of the shoot well. Your description does put what' going on into perspective and helps me see the Nightlife clearer in the photo. There is nothing inherently wrong with your modeling as your pose and expression befit the situation. The blond does steal some attention from you, but you're still the primary focus of the photo. Despite the positives of the theme fitting and me not having anything negative to say about your modeling, I still can't give you a rave review. There's nothing jaw-dropping for me in the photo and I feel there were better ways of representing Nightlife. Still, it's solid work this week.
Jensen: I see nighttime for sure. Those glasses, while on some might be horrible, they actually suit you. I like that you're interacting with the scene as well, with the food. This is nice.
JY: I love that you picked this one over other samples. I think this photo is quite great. Your nightlife is quite boring (no companion) but it's believable for this round shoot. I love the glasses too. Very nerdy but in a good way.

MODELLING CONTENT: 1
EVALUATION:
This photograph, despite being high quality, feels too candid for AYUBOT, and lacks an exciting high fashion flair. THEME CONNECTION is high, but it comes at a cost of modelling. AYUBOT feels there is no modelling in this photograph. But AYUBOT can appreciate the street fashion.
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT:
This is America's Next Top MODEL: Male Celebrity. Not America's Next Top Hot Guy.
Sean: Well, the theme connectivity is not in question with this photo. I can definitely see your Nightlife 100% here. The only hang-up comes when we look at the modeling quality of the photo. It's very candid and does look like someone came up and snapped a shot of you while you were out eating. Still, you look very handsome in the shot and with good theme connection and a shot that isn't unflattering, I'm sure you'll be fine this round. It's not as strong as your Round 1 shot, but I'm sure it'll still be fine.
Jensen: This is gorgeous. I'm a bit thrown off by the water/fireworks/weird stuff around your head but other than that, I really like this.
JY: I'm not sure about this. I think the Photoshop is too much. It ruined the authenticity of this photo. But in term of the theme, I think you nailed it. Great execution but poor concept which is rarely happen in this game... Hmmm

EVALUATION:
The expression meets AYUBOT's approval. AYUBOT finds it very sassy and gay. AYUBOT means gay in the homosexual nature, because the eyeshadow gives GODFREY GAO a draggish vibe to his otherwise masculine face. At the same time, AYUBOT can appreciate it because it shows off androgyny and versatility.
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT:
Now you are aware of your potential for androgyny, be ware of looking like a bearded woman.
Sean: This photo is so close to being perfect for me. I'm not liking your purple eyeshadow and I don't like whatever that is that's swirling next to your head (looks like water to me), but I'm really liking the rest of the photo. You're dressed sharp and look like you're ready for a classy night out on the town. Despite the effeminate makeup, you're still giving off a very strong masculine vibe with your eyes.
Jensen: I think you would have been best to try to play around with the lighting and make this darker. I don't see night at all, maybe it's the brightness of the photo, I don't know. You look good here though, so it's a shame about lighting.
JY: Between all the members in the Super Junior, I think Siwon has better portfolio and he got more modeling potential. It definitely shown in this photo. I think he kinda overshadowed you here. I'm torn of this photo. I love the style. The concept is very interesting. You should crop Ceci logo... Hmm.. I'm really really torn about this

EVALUATION:
There is strong fashion content all around in this photograph, from both models, but contestant HEECHUL KIM fades away, blurred in the background. This photo is not about HEECHUL KIM, but about some other guy.
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT:
Remember to be the always in the spotlight.
AYUBOT recognises HEECHUL KIM has a very feminine face and body. AYUBOT suggests that HEECHUL KIM plays his femininity to his advantage instead of faking masculinity. It is okay for a male model to be effeminate.
Sean: Ayubot and I were talking earlier and she made a comment that she felt like you should be playing with your femininity instead of trying to "fake masculinity". I completely agree. You have a very androgynous look and I think you should really be playing up to that. It's something you have that none of the other models have (despite how many 'Justin Bieber is a lesbian' jokes we always hear). That comment aside, I'm not really a big fan of this shot. It took me a minute to figure out who you were in this cause you are nowhere near the focus of the shot and that was throwing me off. The guy whom we see in a profile shot looks like the subject of the shot and you're just a part of the background. I was about to comment on the quality of the photo being off, but then I realized it was just because of the different layers in the photo. Had you been the man whom we see in profile, then I don't think you would be getting many comments on the quality, cause he's at an acceptable level. He's just the subject of the shot, so the camera made sure to focus on him and it causes the background to become a bit blurred. And since you're the background in this shot, that's why you're a bit blurred. If you survive this round, please work on making sure you stay the primary focus of your shots and think about playing with your androgyny a bit more.
JY: I guess it's a great night for you to see two girls hooked up in front of you. I think you're cute and the concept is great. I just felt this photo is a little bit candid. But I love how curious you were in this photo.

Sean: Who cares what those girls are doing cause I'm definitely noticing you and your beautiful eyes in this shot. You've covered the theme well here and you look good in the shot. However, the problem does arise when we look at the level of modeling in this shot. It's just a very candid shot.
Jensen: I unfortunately do care what those girls are doing because they're distracting me. I get what everyone means about the candid vibe coming from this. I do love your face and how clear it is, but I wish it were a different shot.
Jensen: While this could be any time of day or night, I get a night feeling, probably from teh dark theater. I like that there's a story here, this is pretty good.
JY: I like the concept. Very cool and calm. But there were too many distraction in this photo for me. From you shoes, the angle of this photo and the lighting at the top of this photo. Beside that, the angle on your face is a little bit off.

AYUBOT would like to see a body, rather than a head with legs attached.
Sean: Like Jensen, while this could be viewed as either a daytime or nighttime shot, it does have a nighttime feel to it, for me. However, it's not a very flattering shot for you. Once the camera gets to your head, it starts going out of focus a bit. We can't see you very well in this shot despite it being pretty much nothing but you here.
JY: I'm not sure whether this is a screenshot or not. But even this is a screenshot, I don't mind because the quality is much better. I love your explanation. Being a male escort must be so challenging. So good job for that. Overall, this photo is good enough

AYUBOT cannot detect a screenshot in this photograph. AYUBOT is overall very pleased with this photograph. AYUBOT loves STEPHEN AMELL's fashion in this photograph. However, AYUBOT does not like the positioning of STEPHEN AMELL's hands or his face.
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT:
Be careful of your face and arm positioning.
Sean: The lighting and color scheme are definitely helping you out this week; I can see a solid connection to the theme. Like Ayubot, I'm not liking the positioning of your hands in this shot as it makes it look like a mid-action shot rather than a pose. Still you look good in this photo and it fits the theme well.
Jensen: I really like this. It looks like a photo shoot but also looks like a screencap. So if it's a still, at least it's photo shoot worthy. I like the styling and the fashion and the lighting. Good job.
You need to submit a photo to represent a Nightlife. Let's start the judging and elimination for this week.

EVALUATION:
This photograph has left AYUBOT feeling extremely underwhelmed. TOM HARDY is just standing and staring in this photograph. AYUBOT feels this photograph is not strong enough. AYUBOT loves the jacket though, but does not feel it's showcased very well.
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT:
Excite the judges with some poses and some faces.
Sean: Yeah, this photo fits the requirements of the shoot, but it's not very interesting beyond that. The styling is appropriate, the setting is appropriate, and it's just overall on an appropriate level. The problem is that there's nothing I love about any aspect of the photo. At least there's also nothing I hate about any aspect of it, either. it's just a very safe shot and that's probably what you'll be with this shot: safe.

Jensen: I'm on a really slow computer so I figured if I start now with those that have submitted, I might be done by the time the others have submitted lol
First let me say, I love your siggy, your eyes are amazing. AND you're a three time winner? Bravo! Boys, you better watch out!!!
Anyway lol onto my critique. This is fun!! I really like this. First, bravo for braving the waters with older women, they really know what they're doing, and from the looks of this photo, they're doing it right. And you, I go right to you. You look very very nice. Great job Bradley!!
JY: This photo is so naughty and cheeky. I think you can do more here, either with the pose or the expression. The girls want you so much but you don't seem to enjoy this situation as much as the female models. But I really like the concept. Good job on that

Unfortunately for BRADLEY COOPER, AYUBOT is here to judge him. BRADLEY COOPER does not seem too thrilled about the old lady's foot against his face. In a group shot, your job is to outshine the others, but AYUBOT feels like the blonde woman takes the spotlight. The way the body is positioned is relaxed, but it takes away length of the body and can leave it looking amputated.
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT:
Be aware of the positioning of the body.
BERENICE AYUBOT WANTS ENERGY!
Sean: I typed out a long critique for this photo and then when I hit "Post Reply" the site told me to sign in. Grr... Anyway, I'll try to touch on everything I said, but it'll probably be a more abridged version. I think this photo meets the requirements of the shoot well. Your description does put what' going on into perspective and helps me see the Nightlife clearer in the photo. There is nothing inherently wrong with your modeling as your pose and expression befit the situation. The blond does steal some attention from you, but you're still the primary focus of the photo. Despite the positives of the theme fitting and me not having anything negative to say about your modeling, I still can't give you a rave review. There's nothing jaw-dropping for me in the photo and I feel there were better ways of representing Nightlife. Still, it's solid work this week.
Jensen: I see nighttime for sure. Those glasses, while on some might be horrible, they actually suit you. I like that you're interacting with the scene as well, with the food. This is nice.
JY: I love that you picked this one over other samples. I think this photo is quite great. Your nightlife is quite boring (no companion) but it's believable for this round shoot. I love the glasses too. Very nerdy but in a good way.

EVALUATION:
This photograph, despite being high quality, feels too candid for AYUBOT, and lacks an exciting high fashion flair. THEME CONNECTION is high, but it comes at a cost of modelling. AYUBOT feels there is no modelling in this photograph. But AYUBOT can appreciate the street fashion.
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT:
This is America's Next Top MODEL: Male Celebrity. Not America's Next Top Hot Guy.
Sean: Well, the theme connectivity is not in question with this photo. I can definitely see your Nightlife 100% here. The only hang-up comes when we look at the modeling quality of the photo. It's very candid and does look like someone came up and snapped a shot of you while you were out eating. Still, you look very handsome in the shot and with good theme connection and a shot that isn't unflattering, I'm sure you'll be fine this round. It's not as strong as your Round 1 shot, but I'm sure it'll still be fine.
Jensen: This is gorgeous. I'm a bit thrown off by the water/fireworks/weird stuff around your head but other than that, I really like this.
JY: I'm not sure about this. I think the Photoshop is too much. It ruined the authenticity of this photo. But in term of the theme, I think you nailed it. Great execution but poor concept which is rarely happen in this game... Hmmm

The expression meets AYUBOT's approval. AYUBOT finds it very sassy and gay. AYUBOT means gay in the homosexual nature, because the eyeshadow gives GODFREY GAO a draggish vibe to his otherwise masculine face. At the same time, AYUBOT can appreciate it because it shows off androgyny and versatility.
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT:
Now you are aware of your potential for androgyny, be ware of looking like a bearded woman.
Sean: This photo is so close to being perfect for me. I'm not liking your purple eyeshadow and I don't like whatever that is that's swirling next to your head (looks like water to me), but I'm really liking the rest of the photo. You're dressed sharp and look like you're ready for a classy night out on the town. Despite the effeminate makeup, you're still giving off a very strong masculine vibe with your eyes.
Jensen: I think you would have been best to try to play around with the lighting and make this darker. I don't see night at all, maybe it's the brightness of the photo, I don't know. You look good here though, so it's a shame about lighting.
JY: Between all the members in the Super Junior, I think Siwon has better portfolio and he got more modeling potential. It definitely shown in this photo. I think he kinda overshadowed you here. I'm torn of this photo. I love the style. The concept is very interesting. You should crop Ceci logo... Hmm.. I'm really really torn about this

EVALUATION:
There is strong fashion content all around in this photograph, from both models, but contestant HEECHUL KIM fades away, blurred in the background. This photo is not about HEECHUL KIM, but about some other guy.
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT:
Remember to be the always in the spotlight.
AYUBOT recognises HEECHUL KIM has a very feminine face and body. AYUBOT suggests that HEECHUL KIM plays his femininity to his advantage instead of faking masculinity. It is okay for a male model to be effeminate.
Sean: Ayubot and I were talking earlier and she made a comment that she felt like you should be playing with your femininity instead of trying to "fake masculinity". I completely agree. You have a very androgynous look and I think you should really be playing up to that. It's something you have that none of the other models have (despite how many 'Justin Bieber is a lesbian' jokes we always hear). That comment aside, I'm not really a big fan of this shot. It took me a minute to figure out who you were in this cause you are nowhere near the focus of the shot and that was throwing me off. The guy whom we see in a profile shot looks like the subject of the shot and you're just a part of the background. I was about to comment on the quality of the photo being off, but then I realized it was just because of the different layers in the photo. Had you been the man whom we see in profile, then I don't think you would be getting many comments on the quality, cause he's at an acceptable level. He's just the subject of the shot, so the camera made sure to focus on him and it causes the background to become a bit blurred. And since you're the background in this shot, that's why you're a bit blurred. If you survive this round, please work on making sure you stay the primary focus of your shots and think about playing with your androgyny a bit more.
JY: I guess it's a great night for you to see two girls hooked up in front of you. I think you're cute and the concept is great. I just felt this photo is a little bit candid. But I love how curious you were in this photo.

Sean: Who cares what those girls are doing cause I'm definitely noticing you and your beautiful eyes in this shot. You've covered the theme well here and you look good in the shot. However, the problem does arise when we look at the level of modeling in this shot. It's just a very candid shot.
Jensen: I unfortunately do care what those girls are doing because they're distracting me. I get what everyone means about the candid vibe coming from this. I do love your face and how clear it is, but I wish it were a different shot.
Jensen: While this could be any time of day or night, I get a night feeling, probably from teh dark theater. I like that there's a story here, this is pretty good.
JY: I like the concept. Very cool and calm. But there were too many distraction in this photo for me. From you shoes, the angle of this photo and the lighting at the top of this photo. Beside that, the angle on your face is a little bit off.

Wait and listen to your team members.
AYUBOT would like to see a body, rather than a head with legs attached.
Sean: Like Jensen, while this could be viewed as either a daytime or nighttime shot, it does have a nighttime feel to it, for me. However, it's not a very flattering shot for you. Once the camera gets to your head, it starts going out of focus a bit. We can't see you very well in this shot despite it being pretty much nothing but you here.
JY: I'm not sure whether this is a screenshot or not. But even this is a screenshot, I don't mind because the quality is much better. I love your explanation. Being a male escort must be so challenging. So good job for that. Overall, this photo is good enough

EVALUATION:
AYUBOT cannot detect a screenshot in this photograph. AYUBOT is overall very pleased with this photograph. AYUBOT loves STEPHEN AMELL's fashion in this photograph. However, AYUBOT does not like the positioning of STEPHEN AMELL's hands or his face.
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT:
Be careful of your face and arm positioning.
Sean: The lighting and color scheme are definitely helping you out this week; I can see a solid connection to the theme. Like Ayubot, I'm not liking the positioning of your hands in this shot as it makes it look like a mid-action shot rather than a pose. Still you look good in this photo and it fits the theme well.
Jensen: I really like this. It looks like a photo shoot but also looks like a screencap. So if it's a still, at least it's photo shoot worthy. I like the styling and the fashion and the lighting. Good job.
