Welcome back! This photoshoot, we wanted something that represents East Asia by any means.

Janice: Sakura are definitely something people associate with the Far East, and the whole background of the photograph is somewhat reminiscent of a Japanese city temple. I love the earrings, and the overall pose, especially the hand. I love the contrast of the colours of the outfit too. Overall, as the whole feel and execution of the picture leaves something to be desired. The cold and bold outfit is in complete conflict with the serene and alive environment, along with your intense and alive face and vernal earrings. I feel it could have been executed better.
Morgan: I like the subtle connections to the theme, the cherry blossoms tie in nicely as well as your fashion as you mentioned. I enjoy the effort that you are putting into your facial expression but it comes across as a little too much tension in the face for my liking. I think I would have liked to see some more of you modelling and interacting with your environment, perhaps some graceful full length body shots would have complimented the serene environment which appears to be around you.
Tiny Tina: I'm likin' those cherry blossoms cuz when I see them, I know I thinkin' a the east Asians cuz I ain't really seen them nowhere else. Yo hands and posin' ain't all that great, but they ain't terrible, neither. You also don't look completely appropriate fo' yo environment and stuff. Still, you ain't no Asian model, but you still give us a photo that looks like it could be Asian, so you done good with the theme, girl. And I understand getting too busy to meet up, so no worries there.

Janice: At first I'm like, I don't get it, but then I see the Gobi Desert, and I'm like "Oh okay." However, you did not do your research. The Gobi is a cold desert, it may be dry, but it's usually cold. However, I'm willing to pass this off as "Summer in the Gobi." Because, as of any desert, or place of that latitude or for that matter, it can get pretty hot in summer. The photo tells a story, but does lack modelling and fashion-wise, but it makes up for it in execution and theme.
Morgan: Janice has already mentioned the desert conundrum so I won't repeat the inconsistencies between the Gobi desert and this photo. Perhaps you caught the desert on one of its days of extreme climate change. The overall look of this photo is quite pleasing to the eye with a lot of rich soil colours and light in all of the right areas. You look like you were caught off guard here, like you weren't in the proper pose to get your photo taken. I wish there was more commitment to the modelling here, but on a plus side you still look ruggedly handsome (dammit!)
Tiny Tina: When you don't gots no obvious Asian pics, ya gots ta get creative, son. When you say where you at, I see the connection then. The modeling ain't the best, but it's still there and you still lookin' good. I'm likin' all the detail we see in the shot and how everything is lookin' real clear and all that. Just wish you had you a better face and better outfit than ya gots here.

Janice: Well, you already know about size mattering, so I'm not going to tell you what you already know there.
I definitely get a martial arts vibe from this photograph, in the pose, and a little bit in the fashion too. The legs are long, and the body is lean and muscular. I really like the face too. Overall, it's a solid photo, but I think it lacks a greater fashion appeal.
Morgan: I'm pleased to see that you are aware that size matters, and have put effort into fulfilling that demand. I think this photo would have looked better in a larger photo but I can still see the theme connection and some modelling in this sized photo. You have great posture here with your torso and limbs, you look in control of your body but a little pained in the face. I am enjoying the natural environment around you, the clothing you are wearing (although not looking entirely fashionable for a model) help to strengthen the connection to Asian and martial arts culture.
Tiny Tina: Yeah, you know 'bout the size, but you can't help it if you naturally small. Ya just gots ta find you a girl that don't care 'bout stuff like that. It's easy to see yo connection to the theme this round with this shot. Love the styling and the pose and both look great while still giving us a view of the Asian theme we want. This is a real good shot, but we do gots ta count off a bit fo' the sizing issues. Could have been much stronger in a better size.

Janice: This doesn't really look like Toph, but it's definitely her based on her outfit. Which, by the way, the fabulous! The outfit and scenery definitely fit the East Asian theme of this photoshoot. She also look tall, and her face is great! I really like this one!
Morgan: This is perfection to me! You look beautiful, serene, and captivated by your surroundings. I love the cherry blossoms, the art in the photo and the obvious connection to Asian culture. The wind in the hair and clothing does wonders to make you look more like a model, your clothes are giving you great length here. Plus that small dainty smile on your face is gorgeous, you look comfortable and homely* in your environment. (*Note from Janice: Homely meaning at home, not ugly.)
Tiny Tina: This theme was probably easiest fo' you cause you gots you a Asian model ready to go. I agree wit' Janice that this don't really look like Toph, but we can tell it's supposed ta be a pic of her. I don't really like the face on this pic, though. The detail fo' yo nose is missing and what we can see looks a little odd and goofy to me. Still, I'm liking yo pose and lovin' yo setting. Fo the most part, this is real good.

Janice: The theme connection may not be the strongest at first glance, but I definitely see vibes of the wacky Japanese fashion. The pose is basic, but it kind of works. The face I don't really like. But the fashion is impeccable. You clearly did your research. I think this picture would have been better as a colour photograph, honestly, though.
Morgan: As someone who isn't an expert into all types and modes of fashion (when you are as hot as me, you can wear a shredded rag with assorted stains and still look impeccable, just saying)I can only base my critique of the theme connection upon general information and searches on the internet. From doing some brief research it seems like the connection here is quite a stretch as being a futuristic avant garde fashion in east asia, the fashion looks more of a classic western look to me. But as previously stated this element of my critique is not largely founded upon solid knowledge. I can however give you solid comments on your modelling which I actually enjoy in this photo, your body looks effortlessly lean and hot. I wish there was more animation in your face and less of a hang in your head.
Tiny Tina: I can see yo connection to the avante-garde style we can see in that part of the world, but I'd be lying if I told ya that this wasn't lacking a little in the theme connection department. You got you some great fashion here and the modeling is real good, too. I don't completely like the blank expression you got, but that's my only hang-up here in the non-theme department.
