Magdalena - This is an interesting take. Not sure I was really expecting to see a profile for the Modeling Potential shot, but I like it. The outfit was smartly done to fool the eye into thinking your legs go on forever. I'm sure they're fairly long, but am positive that the styling, posture, and choice in shoes are enhancing that length. You look a little unstable in the overall sense, but for the most part, this is a pretty good start.
Chloe - I like that your smile here isn't overdone like we get from a few of the others. This does look like a shot someone could have taken of you outside of a modeling shoot, but it looks like a high-quality candid (not saying it is actually candid, just that it looks like one). I love how bright and vibrant your hair is here and I get a definitely sense of character from you in this shot.
Alice - The first thing I notice are your eyes. They're such a piercing shade of green and the makeup effect on your eyelashes only enhance the look. Your hair kind of blends into the background, so I would have liked a different background color. Other than that, I don't really have anything negative to say here.

Welcome back to the competition!
Mags, we definitely don't expect to see a profile shot here. However, I think it helps you stand out. I like the addition of the ballet flats to help you look taller, combined with your executive fashion. It also improves your posture.
Chloe, there's something about this that I really don't like. I think it might be how fake the hair looks compared to everything else. The whole thing looks like someone's photoshopping creation. I'm not a fan.
And little Alice, well, not so little here. Some great eyes here. A very lovely cheekbones, lips. Eyebrows. It works well as a beauty shot.

Magdalena - Ahh you seem to be a classic type of model. Poised, graceful and talented in the arts. You have some interesting model characteristics, your limbs are extraordinary long the way in which your arms are places make them seem almost alien like in length and in the posing. An impressive shot. Chloe - Are you a super sayan? Avenger? Some sort of actress that places a super hero? If the answer is no then you need to dye that hair pronto! Judges lets move the makeover episode to next week, this is an emergency situation. Luckily with horrid hair you are still giving us a cute smile. However you look quite young and amateur like which comes across through your hand placement and uncertainty mirrored in your face. IF YOU WANT TO KEEP THAT HAIR COLOUR THEN I NEED TO SEE YOU WORKING UP SOME FIERCENESS. Aice - Its obvious that you have a trademark quality and that is your magnificent green eyes. You look like an interesting character, one that has a story to tell and I'm all ears. Literally I want you to tell me everything  This is a beautiful, sharp and an effective natural photo of you to kick start your place in the competition. Nice. |

 I hope this is a correct Alice if not please let me know. I chose this because I feel it represents Aether in a few different ways. Air,light and the doves represent the heavens. |

For me, this picture reads too much as air or wind, even with your description. The petals, the doves and the action all work into this factor. I'm really struggling to see anything to do with aether here. Aether is more heavenly, or even space-like. For me, this picture is just too windy. PS. I would prefer something more like this. {CLICK ME!}  Uh. Feel free to use that at any time. |

SWAT Team didn't submit, so you're fine. Also, you probably could've survived with just McGee's Alice, it seems.  |

There is a discrepancy between the theme and the photo you have submitted even more so after seeing the potential photo you could have used that Janice demonstrated. This photo looks to fairytale like, princessy, the world is a beautiful magical place. Whereas when I think of Aether I think of mystery, the great questions of human existence. You as a model look beautiful, wide eyed and excited about your surroundings a great anime shot overall. Perhaps with a more fantasy like environment and injection of some more meaningful symbolism this photo could have passed as a snapshot of the heavens.

Yeah, I'm having a hard time connecting this shot fully to the theme. However, I do think it's a very pretty shot with a lot to look at. Under the right circumstances, a real wow shot. At least we get to see that you have the potential to really deliver strong shots with this model even if we didn't get what we were looking for this round.

 Sinann, Celtic Goddess of the River Shannon Sinann A beautiful & curious mortal woman spent much of her young life searching for knowledge. Knowing that all the knowledge was to be found at the well which was surrounded by nine trees and where the Salmon of Knowledge dwelled. So thrilled by the well and the knowledge she was about to recieve she began to dance. The waters beneath her began to swirl and rise in joy with her and as she opened the well they flowed free over her. She allowed the waters to take her and she became one with the now flowing river. A Goddess of the River Shannon. In her death she became a Goddess. |

First of all, your explanation of the river goddess Sinann is good, but we're missing why you think this picture portrays Sinann. I love your lipstick here. Skin flawless. Eyeshadow, great. Great beauty show, but the fashion content... Where is it? That's a huge problem with choosing such a close up beauty shot. We can't see much fashion content.

I do really like how your lips pop with that red in the sea of turquoise in this shot. Yeah, with just a headshot, you're missing out on some fashion content here, but it's still a nice, striking shot. It's easy to see the connection to your theme here, too. It's just a nice shot, overall and I'd imagine that you should be safe with it.

I can see you have taken a risk here, portraying a goddess mearly through a beauty shot is a large feat and I'm not so sure that it has resulted in the desired outcome. As mentioned your lips are beautifully puckered, and your eyes are a deep blue connecting us to the river of knowledge. You look wonderful, beautiful in fact however I think you may have been able to better portray your goddess with the inclusion of some body modelling also.
