Okay so the two main lyrics that stand out to me in the song are "Oh I want to dance with somebody" and "I wanna feel the heat with somebody"... In this photo she's not only dancing alone and her facial expression can kind of show that she's alone... she's also in the desert where it is hot. So i think the two lines i gave you can go with this photo in a very artistic way.  |

Beth: The setting and the concept was good but once again the execution just didn't work for me. If your face looks straight to the camera, it would be better, girl. The styling was average for me. I think you body language can be more graceful than this.

Amanda: I really love this in a way - the setting is wonderful, and definitely issues a degree of loneliness. The styling is great (especially the hat!  ), and I can definitely see that you're alone here. The pose works, and you do seem to have had fun with this shoot despite your lonely expression. However, there are two really apparent problems here. One, the shadowing. A shadow is being cast over your body, and that makes it hard to see you. This does add to the effect of loneliness and wanting to break out of it, but it takes away more than it adds, especially given the second problem: there's no focal point here. You're not the center of attention. You're not drawing us - or a potential lover - in. The idea is wonderful, the styling is great... but it just lacks that punch that sucks you in and makes you remember it. It's good, but those two problems are pretty big ones. :/ |

Anna: I really like your interpretation of the song here, Troian. Finally you are giving us some energy and movement (and you are actually "modeling" for a change), but honestly, this could be anyone. I barely see your face, and like Amanda said, the shadow is hiding you. As far as your pose, I think from the waist up you look fantastic, but I don't really like your legs. The styling is simple yet unique, but doesn't add much to the story you're telling. I do like the setting, but you almost seem to get lost in it. I know there are a lot of "buts" in this critique, BUT I really do like this more than I don't.

Joan: Interesting and unexpected is what this photo is. What bothers me the most is how we can barely see your face and that shadow just makes it even harder! I love what you did here though; I always love unique and different stuff. I agree with Beth you can be more graceful. I think you took a big risk here and I don’t think it paid off a lot but it certainly won’t hurt you a lot either.
