Good day everybody. This photoshoot, you had to step up to the plate and show us your good side with a representation of the seven heavenly virtues. Let's see how you all did.

Du for Chastity:
Janice: You know what, I really like your interpretation of chastity as being wrapped up in plastic. Almost like a doll in mint condition. At the same time, you're yearning to get out, I guess that's the waiting until marriage part. Your face is a little disjointed and alienesque, and I don't think it entirely fits in well with the photograph, but other than that, I love the concept.
Jessie: What really makes this work is that you're wearing white. Chastity for me is wearing white and being a virgin. But you look like a promiscuous girl who's being held back by plastic that you're just itching to break through. Watch out, Morgan! It was a great concept though!
Morgan: I know more than one way I can pop myself through that plastic!
This is a really great interpretation of chastity, and as Jessie said wearing white is just a contributor to this great shot. The plastic idea fits very well, and you have a very strong look here. You look like you have your defenses up, as well has a fire in your eye which draws me in. Great job.
Team Blonde:
Karlie for Kindness:
Karlie for Kindness:
Janice: Well, it don't think it's strong, but considering what we have this week... It's strong by these standards. I can see the angle you were coming from, but it just fails to excite me at all. It's just too bland.
Jessie: It's very obvious what aspect of kindness you are showing, you both share the spotlight here and it most cases I would want you to stand out more, but kindness IS sharing too so this does work. I don't know that it really wows me for a black and white though. So a decent effort.
Morgan: This is good, two ladies in a photo is always better than one. But not as strong as it could have been. However I can see friendship through this which I am glad about. I like the symmetry between you both, it looks as if you have ridiculously long arms, so there is still modelling happening in this. Overall its safe, nice but next time some edge and power would be good.
Team Brit:
Did not submit a photo.

Team Epic:
Josh for humility:
Josh for humility:
Janice: You chose humility, which is modesty, humbleness and selflessness. Instead, you submitted a photo of humiliation, which is shamefulness, embarrassment and degradation. You should definitely be humiliated that you submitted this photo. It's extremely weak. Next time, research. Even google could tell you what Humility is. I even posted a description. You should READ next time.
Morgan:
I am appalled.
"idrk what any of these things actually are so" - Have you heard of google my friend? It takes 1 minute of research or reading the photoshoot thread to find out what your heavenly virtue meant. You have given us nothing to work with, I am not going to give that photo the honor of a critique.
Jessie: After Simba's submission last round I really can't hide my disappointment over this photo. There is absolutely no aspect of humility. Janice and Morgan have already said enough. Do the 5 seconds worth of research next time.
Team Fabulous:
Sasha for charity:
"I love using Sasha as an excuse to play around with fashion, and the last time I used her, she was a bohemian princess in a still-life; this time, she is an eclectic homeless angel in motion. I think this shot captures charity perfectly because not only has she given up all of her physical possessions (the opposite of greed), but her arms are also spread wide, symbolizing that she is still willing to give even more. The angel wings help to sell the idea of this being a "virtue", and charity can also be defined in religion as giving yourself to God, and who is more devoted than an angel?"

Janice: Well, you look a bit dear in headlights here, I would have loved to see more energy. I see the angle you were going for, and it's very interestingly interpreted. Your legs look a little short. I'd have loved to see maybe a spring in the step, but I do find the homeless chic look very interesting.
Jessie: I'm going to be honest. My first impression was of a girl trying to pull off "Michael" which is a role John Travolta played way back when. The only thing that sells this is the description. If not for the description, I wouldn't know that this represented charity, I just see a crazy homeless girl running toward us at top speed and my urge to sick James's Weezing and his Smokescreen attack on her so we could make a quick getaway. Thanks to the description though, this is great.
Morgan: Your description surely is your saving grace. However even without the description I think I would have enjoyed this, the whole photo is very unique not to mention you and the styling. I can see charity through the selflessness and wings, I probably wouldnt go to you for help though because you look a little scary and kinda looks like you are wearing a nappy in your crotch area. Overall I enjoy this though.
Team Firework:
Katy for Patience:
Katy for Patience:
Janice: I'm not entirely sold with patience here. I don't really see any virtue at all here, just you taking the heavenly part going with that. The patience here I find lacking is in the fact it looks like you're getting a little impatient waiting for your man to come eat the cotton candy over your butt.
Jessie: Was peace one of those virtues? Oh, Patience. Ok. No. Not that I don't love that you're laying on top of a cotton candy cloud, but patience and peace are not the same thing. And I don't know how you're being patient, although surrounded by all that yummy candy and not taking a bite is pretty patient, I'll give you that.
Morgan: My apologies for being late to eat the cotton candy off your butt, you have been awfully patient about that.
This doesnt quite connect with patience, I get a peaceful, heavenly, relaxed vibe here but not so much patience. You yourself look delicious, as does the cotton candy surrounding you. But next time try to connect the photo more with the theme, I appreciate the job that you did though.
Team Playboy:
Adrianne for Diligence:
Adrianne for Diligence:
Janice: Diligence is hardworking, never giving up, determination, putting effort into things. That's why it's the opposite of sloth. You have given up here, and gone straight to sloth in your performance. This is boring. I'm very disappointed in you.
Jessie: *headdesk* I don't see diligence at all. This is you, Adrianne, standing stalk still looking at the camera with a sort of dazed expression. I think we would have been better off going with the sins rather than the virtues, Janice.
Morgan: I am at a loss of what to say. Unless your heavenly virtue was "nothing" then I think its safe to say that you have not succeeded at your photo interpretation. You look dead, emotionless, petrified and confused. Whats more Im dissapointed to hear that you tried to throw this competition by submitting this. If you want to leave the competition there are better ways to go about it rather than submitting a terrible photo and wasting everyone's time who has to critique a shot that someone put no effort into.
