I chose this image to represent the Flamenco dance, a uniquely Spanish style of dance which has been practised there for centuries. Flamenco dancers always wear red, and generally wear jewellery and long, swirling skirts, like I've got going on here, and I'm given to understand that there's usually a lot of pausing and posing that goes on. Also, just as a note, I know that I've used photoshop a lot in this competition, and I don't want you guys to think that I'd suck without it. So, this week I wanted to prove that I can still be awesome without having to touch things up. Aside from resizing, I've pretty much left this photo completely as is. Emmy Rossum don't need no enhancing.  Hope you like it! |

Amanda: The styling here is GORGEOUS. I really see Flamenco here - and your hair is WONDERFUL. I love the idea of this and everything works together - but there is one thing. I don't like that your eyes are closed. You almost look sad. This is supposed to be a lively dance. And your expression is far from lively, which is a pretty big issue. That aside, I really like this, so good job!

Joan: Fantastic pose and styling! You always do well at nailing those 2 things in photos. I agree with Amanda though, more energy is what this photo needs. You look dead and bored. Spain is about getting your tango or salsa on. Your styling fits perfectly for that but you drag this photo down. This entire photo needed was more energy from you and it would have been an excellent photo.

Beth: I think you are very graceful here. The pose is elegant which is what is needed for this week shoot. Beautiful dress but I do agree with the other judges. Energy!!! That's what I'm looking for in this photo. But overall, beautiful!!!

Anna: First of all, thank-you for backing off with the photoshop editing! You look incredible here; the dress, your hair, the movement. However, your expression doesn't really do justice to the rest of the image. Don't get me wrong, I think you've found a perfect angle for your face, and you really look stunning, but if you would have given us passion and intensity instead of solitude, I think everything would have come together better.
