Janice: We'll start with Adriana. There's a lot of gold here. Perhaps you should've submitted this for the colours shoot and swapped Rodrigo's one for his BOTB. It would've worked for me, maybe not the other judges though.
We've got some nice posing here, but the eyeshadow is terrible when the eyes are opened. However, on the plus side, long, luscious legs.On to Rodrigo, I feel a very "Pan's Labyrinth" type vibe from this picture. However, I am not convinced for this on the best of the best shoot. I think the fashion is a little bit basic, but your face is really good. I think it just lacks the wow factor.
Finally, Ms Ginerva Weasley. I was very, very curious as to what would come up with Ginny. I am not let down whatsoever. Clearly your strongest picture here. I'm a little taken aback. The dress, hair, pose. It's perfect. I love it.
Morgan: Adriana this would have been a great colours shot for gold. I love your dress and the attractive sparkly setting that you are swirling around in. Modelling wise, the centre photo is the only photo that wows me and due to there being so many other images of you this centre photo becomes overwhelmed. If you were to eliminate the clones of you and place your centre self in a gold, glorious background that would be an impressive photo of your best I think.
This photo of Rodrigo doesn't stand out to be the best for me. You look gloriously handsome and I enjoy the mysterious setting around you (I wish we could see more of it) but theres no POP to the photo or WOW factor to give us a glimpse of your best. All I can see is an attractive model who may be lost in the woods.
Stunning, purely stunning miss Ginny Weasely. Have you recently joined Voldermort's crew? Because you look like you are on the dark side. You look ghoulishly dead or evil, I love the attitude in your pose and the way you are rocking that garment. The positioning of that arm of yours which is hiding behind your back is making your fingers look like twigs coming of a branch of some sort. But this is a minor modelling flaw in the big picture of this photo.
C. Viper: Adriana, this is a lovely shot, but when it comes to "Best of the Best," I'm not sure this quite fits the bill. The cloning aspect can enhance a photo when done correctly, but I'm not of fan of the execution here. It would have been nice if each "clone" was giving us something completely unique or if the "clones" were background support for the center model, who is then giving us a look/pose/sense of intensity. Instead, we have five Adrianas with no real focus here. Although, as with Janice, I'm liking your lovely legs here.
Rodrigo, I think we're getting closer with this shot, but not quite there, yet. Your head looks a little deformed here, but I do like your styling and posing. I can see an attempt at some artistry with the finishing of the shot and I can appreciate that. Like the other judges have said, it just lacks a wow factor.
Ginny, Easily your best shot of the round; this is what a Best of the Best shot looks like. The fashion in this shot is amazing and provides more than enough drama. Your strong posing only adds to an already great shot. I cannot find anything about this that I don't love. Great finish.

Rapunzel:
Janice: We'll start with David here, face is intense, those eyes are just piercing. The body is nice, it does seem a bit cold though, your tone seems a bit pointed. What it lacks in outstanding fashion content, it makes up for in most other departments. Considering you're mostly a underwear model, this is pretty solid.
Lindsay, the face here pretty much describes this for me: No. I don't like this picture at all. It's a really bad angle for the face and the body. I just don't like it.
Marcia, Marcia, Marcia! I see Marcia Brady here! I like the little bits of jewellery, but I'm not taken aback by this. It lacks major wow factor here. I'm just not wowed.
Morgan: Well don't you look like a full package David, you've got the body, the piercing eyes, the pulsing... it all looks quite nice! I actually quite enjoy this photo of you showcasing your natural masculinity and boy that gaze is just delicious. Not as much WOW factor that I would have expected in this round, but this is a solid and impressive shot.
Lindsay, this is not the best of the best. This looks like a candid photo that would be sold for a substantial amount of money to tarnish your reputation. The breast grabbing is awkward, your body language and facial expression don't match and the vibe of this photo is unsettling. I guess the props here is that you look gorgeous even when all this havoc is happening around you.
Rapunzel you are yet to cease to amaze! I love your long slowing hair and the presence of nature circulating around you as well as the flowers that are are embedded in your gorgeous locks. You look wonderfully innocent and sweet with detail pictured in your body and your face. This is a beautiful photo of you.
C. Viper: David, I've had to keep myself from drooling so often this game cause of you. I do have to agree with the others that it doesn't quite provide the wow factor we look for in a Best of the Best shot, but it's done in a solid manner. It shows off your body really well and your eyes are wonderful. Love that you've given us a setting and an overall shoot for this, too.
Lindsey, I'm actually going to have to disagree with the other judges here. I see this as an artistic statement about the violation Lindsey Lohan feels at the hands of the tabloids and public. While I generally don't like shots that look candid, it's completely appropriate for the story being told here. I'm not blown out of the water by this, but I think it's a statement shot that was executed fairly well.
Rapunzel, I like most of what you're doing here... and it took me a bit to realize that. The artist did not get your face quite right here; it's a bit wider than it normally is. That said, your hair is lovely (as it always is) and I like the additional touches that the flowers and butterflies have added to the shot. It comes close to being a true Best of the Best shot, but stops just shy of realizing its full potential.
Team Stingy:

Miley:
Sanji:
Janice: Let's start with Wen here, I see an under the sea chic here. It reminds me of coral and sponges. Face is nice, but I think the eyes lack a bit of intensity. The fashion is outstanding and eyecatching. The pose, perhaps a bit more moving. Regardless, it's nice. Got a bit of wow factor, but I feel it's lacking a bit in the execution department.
Miley, I love the angle of the face. I love it! Also the dress! Love it! It's very classy and elegant! I wish it had shoes. I think it just lacks a bit in giving us something that really awes us, but this does the job.
Sanji, massive action shot. I'm liking it. Definitely got that wow factor element we want in the BOTB shoot. I wish there was a bit more neck, but it's nice to see a non-beauty shot, and see some of that amazing fashion.
Morgan: Wen either you have mastered the ability to create a whirlwind of motion within your garment or you ate a lot of garlic and baked beans this morning. I love the swirling and flaring activity in your dress. However your modelling isn't complimenting that for me, instead of embracing this motion you seem to be uncomfortable and stressed like you are trying to stop your crazy minded dress. Give into the moment Wen!
On the other hand we have Miley who is captivated by herself in this photo and it works! Your face is the winner in this photo you look seductive yet royal and completely immersed in your present state and feelings. I love your pose and the wind that appears to be circulating around you, maybe the cook tried to sabotage your team last night with some extra gassy foods.
Sanji you are on fire! No I mean Sanji you are literally on fire, Janice call the fire brigade! This is a fantastic shot, its bright, thrilling and you are the centre of attention. This is a great full body of you and even in the midst of this fiery chaos you are still attempting to give us some eye contact. An explosive way to end with Sanji.
C. Viper: Wen, I love the movement in this shot; it definitely helps create some drama. The expression on your face is a little off-putting. The eyes look a little dead and your mouth only exasperates it. However, I love the dress and it's movement so much that it's what I keep going back to and leaves me with a positive response to this shot.
Miley, you've given us another solid shot here. The pose is fine, although I would have liked you to reel it back just a bit with your face. You have solid fashion and there's a sense of a story to this shot. It's not a home run, but it's close. A lot is done well and with a few tweaks, could have been phenomenal.
Sanji, this is probably your strongest shot of the round. I think it might be my personal favorite of your character. There's great action and drama here and you have some nice angles with your pose. It's a different viewpoint, too, so it's nice to have that change. Solid fashion, too. Nothing to complain about here.
