 Education has been a hot topic issue for years now. What it comes down too in most terms is money. The cutting of funds and substitution of grants for loans to be paid back to the government. In grade school through high school, more children are being home schooled due to teacher firings and cut backs. Parents believe they will do a better, if also cheaper, job of educating their children than the system can. Ginny represents a child pulled from school to learn at home, who is unhappy with the arrangement as she has been pulled away from her friends and social interaction with most people in general. |

Okay, fair enough. The message you're trying to portray here is that we need more money into public education. I'm sure this is something Morgan feels very strongly about, so you might get brownie points here, whereas, you'd get brownie points with me if you brought me actual brownies. The cause is very well, but I'm having trouble linking your explanation to your picture, when it could easily also be linked to libraries and reading. Perhaps a more forlorn facial expression would have won me over a bit more. Meanwhile, a similar pose as Team B last week. The positioning or pose of the legs makes me uncomfortable.

Girl has her bed behind her that her feet are propped up on and an empty butter beer bottle at her side. To me she is depressed in her room getting underage drunk due to her parents poor decision making as far as how to deal with budget cuts at public school. Even her teddy bear is upset. Love you, just wanted to get that out there.

You can say what you want to me and contest or explain anything else afterwards that can help me further understand. Still, I think there are certain aesthetic accents that could've been improved.

Ok, so your connection to the theme is there. It's not the strongest connection I've seen, but it's there well-enough to work for the shoot. This is a shot that was definitely helped by your description since I wouldn't fully know what you were trying to say here without it. I don't mind the similarities to B's posing from last round. I don't see why it should matter since you're bound to have a pose similar to another team here and there. It's only when you start repeating your own stuff that it becomes a problem (which it hasn't, here). My problem with the pose is that it doesn't fully feel like a modeling pose. Your character was drawn in an obviously candid pose, which hurts the modeling quality of the shot.

Morgan: I do enjoy the relation to school as Morgan's real life alter ego is a prospective teacher. You don't overly pleased with the new arrangements as your frowned expression shows and the tasty alcoholic drink sitting next to you (love the Harry Potter ties in your description by the way).
There are some flaws in this photo from an artistic perspective (and considering I am not an artist so these comments may be uninformed) your eyebrows which are boldly shown through your hair is a little distracting and the positioning of your body makes you look a little plump. However you do look very pretty, innocent and school like.
