When I think of Spain, I think of beautiful women, with luscious lips, and flowers in their hair. In popular culture, Spanish women ooze with lots of sex appeal, and are portrayed as feisty divas or femme fatales. I'm trying to embody the emotion of a Spanish woman in my picture.  |

Joan: This looks like you are posing for a Spanish painter or photographer. This reminds me of the movie Vicky Christina Barcelona. I like this photo and I get the Spain vibe here. The pose, side bang, rose is wonderful. I like the dress shirt, you look very sexy. Spain girls are sexy and beautiful which is what you look like here. My only complaint is the quality is a bit off.

Beth: I got the Spain girl vibe. I think you look beautiful as always. Very flirty and sexy. I'm not a fan of the lighting here. I want more energy too. But overall, you did good again this week Ayumi

Amanda: It definitely looks like this photo has been resized. And I too don't like the lighting - this seems almost antiquated. I do see the "Spanish girl" here. The problem is that, although you're gorgeous, there's nothing unique about this. You've delivered many strong, memorable photos in this competition so far. You've built up so much steam that we expect you to deliver a strong, striking, unique photo EVERY week. This strikes me as safe. I love the styling and the concept, but there's just something that fails to make it "pop." There isn't anything majorly wrong with it, at least. It looks like old Spanish art - but it doesn't add that splash of modernity that would make it stand out from the pack. This is a strong photo, but it's just too safe for me, sorry Ayu :/

Anna: I was anxious to see what you were going to come up with this week, and I must say I am pleasantly surprised that you found something with a distinctly Spanish feel. Spain is very well known for its "passion", and you are giving it to us in spades here. I like how you're holding the single rose, and your expression is perfection. I am a little disappointed in the fashion however (I would have loved to see you in a dress here), but the man's dress shirt and setting does tell a story, so it works.
