I chose this photo for a couple reasons. I did some research and one is the poodle in the 18th century poodles was the principal pet dog in spain. Francisco Goya an artist of Spain often painted portraits of poodles. The second reason is the buildings in the back to me they look like historic buildings. After google searching the buildings look like they could be historic buildings out of Spain.

Amanda: That looks like Amsterdam to me, but the architecture IS similar to what you'd see here in Barcelona. The poodle definitely works - that's not the kind of pooch you'd see around here. I can definitely see how this is Spanish. I'm really happy that you're not going a plasticky route this week - you aren't overdoing the makeup or anything, even if your dress is over the top. I'm more focused on that white print at the bottom than I am on you - that's a problem. I mean, you still look great, and the idea is there. The pose works. The expression is okay. There's nothing really horrible about this - at least you don't look like a Bond villain! I do kind of wish the dog was looking at us, though... but you are, so that's not a problem. Overall, this is good, but not great. Nice work

Anna: Ahhh yes, Jean Paul Gaultier's "High-Low Numero Un"...fabulous. I know Amanda thinks the dress is too over-the-top, but I am actually really glad that you decided to wear Haute Couture this week; we're in Europe now and it's definitely time to turn things up a notch. I think you've done a fantastic job researching the theme (thank-you for your in depth explanation), and your hard work has certainly payed off.
The setting is gorgeous (and even though you're actually in France, I can easily imagine this as Spain). Your dress is absolutely divine, and I think the white lace pattern adds to the Spanish vibe. There's not much to your expression or pose, but the sophisticated simplicity of it works well here. My dear Katy, I believe this is your best photograph yet, and I truly hope this is an indication that your plastic phase is officially behind you.

Joan: Love that you went with haute couture. This is the round to do it and you nailed it! I like the strong pose and your “poodle” idea for Spain. Very creative! But I am not sure about your facial expression here. Part of me thinks it is dead and dull. But the other part of me thinks it works well with this photo. Nothing more has to be said since I absolutely love and adore this photo. Good job!
