This shoot was the most mind-numbingly stressful shoot I've ever encountered in my entire history of competition playing. Yikes. So Gwen and I have opted for a nice, sparkly beauty shot. I guess our theme is beauty and wealth. They're two things that get you far in life.

Glad you liked it Amanda: I think the sparkles are a little overdone here. I really hate how many of them are in your hair, since that robs the focus of a beauty shot considerably. The bling is also the first thing I tend to notice - you're more faded into the background. That doesn't change that your eyes are amazing and your skin is flawless. But given the distractions, which Gwen doesn't have, I can't rank this too highly. I don't see as much a connection between you as I expected. Overall, it's just good - nothing extraordinarily special.

Beth: Ayumi, the styling was okay for me but I agree with Amanda the sparkles is too much. But I still like this photo. It's a good beauty shot. But as far as the connection with Gwen, I'm not really feeling it.

Anna: Well look at you, all sparkly and edgy. I think it's great how you are showing off the accessories while keeping the focus on your stunning eyes. I like the softness of your lips and the darkness of your nails. You are absolutely flawless, but that tends to be the whole point of a beauty shot. The artificial sparkles do amp up the cheese factor a bit, but looking at the overall image, it actually kind of works for me.
As for the Sisters Theme, I can certainly see the similarities between the two shots, I just wish you girls could have pushed things just a bit more. Headshots are a dime a dozen in this industry, but I must admit you managed to find ones that are quite similar, and that was the task.

Joan: The picture itself is good. I like the diamonds and sparks! You and Gwen both nailed the sister part of the theme as well.
