Alright, ladies, I do not mind telling you that this photoshoot was a biotch for me. I did some research, I found that avant garde photos tend to be about weird clothing nobody would ever wear, makeup that makes you look like Frankenstein, sex appeal, and feathers and weird hats. This photo has all of that. (Well... now.) It sounds simple, but it turns out that I don't do avant-garde shoots ever, because I usually can rock the frills and ruffles so much that I don't need to do it for shock value. When I dug this picture out of my portfolio, it was covered in words and had a lot of other flaws, but it was by a wide margin the most avant garde photo I've ever taken. So, after probably about four hours of photoshopping, I think it looks rather spiffy. I hope that you guys like it, and find it cutting-edge and provocative. *muah* ~ Emmy (Seriously, though, you have no idea how much effort went into making this presentable. My week two photograph was a cakewalk by comparison. After the judging, I'll give you a link to the original, so you can see...)

Beth: For me this is STUNNING.. I love the dress on you, I like the whole styling. And your body language here is strong. Even though, you're laying on the floor here, the angle is really good. Good job, Emmy!!!

Anna: Emmy, you look absolutely exquisite; your face is divine, and you have found a pose that is not only interesting, but it features the fashion wonderfully. However, this is the second time I think you may have gone overboard with the photoshopping. I really do appreciate how much effort you've put into this, but sticking that hat on your head was unnecessary, and it is obvious it was an artificial addition (despite your incredible photo-edit skills). Overall, I think this is a fantastic photo for the theme, I just wish you didn't feel the need to fix something that isn't broken.

Amanda: Coming from the hat expert here, yeah, I can tell something's off about yours. It looks unnatural, especially with your hair like it is. But really, that's my only quibble - it otherwise looks gorgeous, and I really can't tell that you did much of any Photoshopping work anywhere else. It's stunning, it suits the theme, and it looks great. And it's very clear that you're giving this your all, and that's what we want - good work, and keep up the awesome

Thank you for the compliments, ladies!
I had hoped that the hat wouldn't be terribly obvious, but I wasn't sure how well the photo fit the theme without it. In the future, though, I'll definitely make sure to tone it down a bit.
