I placed third in the first season of #DNTM2 and decided to make some comments about this new photoshoot. Obviously, I’m not a judge, so take my observations more as a critical analysis. Access the photos through the link: https://www.kovaze.com/group_thread/73 Maris: Your photo is one of the strongest of the week. There is beauty, movement, and a solid visual composition. The pose works well and the styling contributes to an impactful result. Jane: Compared to your previous shoot, there is a noticeable decline. You started strong, but here you seem to have lost some of your shine, possibly influenced by the makeover. The photo is overly sexy and not very editorial. It’s not among the worst, but it falls below your potential and looks weak compared to similar concepts. Cristi: A well-executed image, with good movement in the dress, a beautiful face, and a setting that enhances the composition. However, it still lacks boldness in the posing. You have great potential, but you need to take more risks. Justini: The dress and its color are positives, but everything else completely weakens the photo. There’s a lack of presence and attitude, resulting in an extremely basic and unconvincing image. lluckygc: You look beautiful, but that alone doesn’t sustain an editorial concept. There’s a lack of movement and the pose is far too simple. The photo feels amateur and doesn’t deliver magazine-level quality. BRAT: We have the best photo of the shoot. There is movement, strong posing, and an almost flawless execution. Medusaluh: The photo had the potential to be a standout, but the dress gets lost in the background. Still, it’s a strong image and you present yourself as a serious competitor. bubba: A good photo, with interesting posing and movement. It reminds me of Jane’s concept, but with better execution. Still, I expect a higher level in the next shoots. Sprite: The makeover seemed risky, but you handled it well. The photo is pretty and has movement, but it feels too safe. There’s a lack of boldness to truly stand out. missKant: The image construction is flawed. The setting does not clearly communicate the concept and could be anything but a desert. Additionally, the pose does not connect with the environment and there are composition issues. GatoPisado: A beautiful photo with a strong pose. However, the background weakens the concept, looking more like a volcanic setting than a desert. KaliMinaj: One of the highlights of the week. There is movement, posing, and a good use of the setting. Keep pushing yourself, as you have the potential to go even further. Antog: The photo lacks impact. The dress color choice was not effective, as it blends into the background and loses visibility. With a better choice, the result could have been much stronger. akaliuchis: Visually, you are among the most beautiful, but there is a lack of movement. The photo does not hold up on aesthetics alone. You need to take more risks. manyomash: A clear improvement compared to your last shoot. You delivered a beautiful photo with presence and movement. There is still room to grow, but the progress is evident. My ranking: BRAT - KaliMinaj - Maris - Medusaluh - manyomash - Sprite - bubba - Cristi - akaliuchis - GatoPisado - Antog - Jane - Iluckygc - Justini - missKant. Good luck to all of you, and I hope you’re having a lot of fun creating these photos! Dimitra 💖

Here is my unsolicited input because I can give it and I was in the trenches before, so I know the emotional struggle, damage, and free candy that the game brings. #DNTM2 Reminder of the Prompt: A strong intentional pose on top of a dune that embodied power, confidence, and full control of their presence. They needed to work with the movement with the wind and create a striking shape with their body. Maris: I sense the power and the confidence in this photo. I love the crown. The little details like that helps with specific parts of the task tbh (well for me personally). Something about the lighting does throw me off. Maybe a bit darker in the back to give more focus on you and that could because of the color of your outfit and the the glistening you have on your skin. How much oil did they put on you for this shoot because a pretty woman never sweats. I sense little wind like a small hand fan. I wish you had a bit more to it, kind of like the Goldilocks method. Not too much, but not too less, just right. I think the "just right" would be having the fabric on the ends be pushed off the ground a little bit instead of just touching it. Besides that, good job. Jane: I really enjoy the pose you presented in this look. I feel like with this photoshoot theme, lighting is a factor and since you are in white, I think a little bit of shade would have helped. I also wished that the draping part of the outfit wasn't being dragged on the ground cause A) shit gonna get dirty B) that cost about 700 Koinz and you know the shop economy is fucked up and C) I think it takes away the control part of the wind aspect of the prompt...or maybe that fabric is heavy as well. I think very similar to what I said to Maris. I do love the new hair and I think it does pop out with the outfit which is great too! Now I'm being picky and wished the dunes had more character too...it would give justice to your pose because I do like it. Cristi: I think this is a great shot, the way you are walking and the movement of your the outfit looks great. I wished the outfit was a bit darker to show dominance/power with the walk. Now if it wasn't for the walk, the pose would be weak so that did save you there. Now thinking about it, maybe you are given like angelic vibes, but are angels confident? They are more comforting...anyway a great improvement form last weeks Cartoon Seducing Gay Men Siren Photo. I do wish there was more dust around you to add more power to the wind. I don't know how much impact that would be, but I love a good story and those little details help with that. Justini: This is nice, but and I love the style of the outfit. You can easily tell the wind is taking place which I love and clearly it shows the wind ain't got nothing on you. One thing I have appreciated so far in your photos is the choice of outfits. I know this is a modeling competition, but these other elements do matter (to me) and if I wanted to design something, this would be something I would want. With that being said, I feel like your pose/facial expression is feels tired like you need a Royale Energy Drink. It could also be a face of "Does it look like I care vibes" but maybe more boldness/energy in the pose could match with it. That was the only thing that stood out to me in a oh...wish we could fix that way and I know you can do that because I saw the potential in that in your previous photo last week. You are hitting the board, but we just have to hit the bullseye. Lluckygc: Very striking, very nice, and the color combo between your hair and dress is very good. The position where your dress is going does give me, wow there is wind happening and I am glad that your hair is going the same way too even though I wish it was a little bit more flowy but maybe you used a shit ton of Got2B spray (Sponsor for this episode???) to keep it in place. With so many people in the competition, this gives me a safe vibes which is fine for now, but hopefully you keep on pushing harder to keep excelling with good photos. BRAT: Outfit: Yes! Hair: Yes! Background: Yes! Pose! Well...I like the outfit. There is something about the foot in the air that throws about the confidence part and I really hate saying that because I love the rest of the photo. Now I do applaud you for doing something different and I don't want my comment to push you away (cause again my comments don't mean shit cause I'm not a judge, just a person finger blasting on this site) so please keep doing that, but I just wanted to let you know. Maybe if you had one leg straight down and the other one bent up in the air would be a better choice, but after looking at it, I can see the vision of why you might did this pose, maybe it is the shoe...it is just something is off about it, maybe it is just me and I should go to my doctor and ask about it. Besides that, I do enjoy everything else and this makes me excited to see what is in store next time. Medusaluh: That is a big gaping hole I see. Metaphor for something??? Anyway I really love the pose and how the fabric flows with what you have. Now does the color of the dress/style of the rest of it fit with it? I don't know. It is giving more evil witch in a castle, not desert vibes and it makes you look out of place. Maybe keep the corset and arm flowy thingy mcbobs and change the skirt part to something else. Besides that the photo is nice, but I am distracted by that big gaping, seething, wide hole. bubba: Love how you decided to make a monochromatic look. You were like, I'm going to showcase that I love my makeover look. Plus I like how the cape part of the outfit flows. The bottom part of the dress does look a bit weird because it looks like you stepped on it from the way the fabric is stretched. Maybe changing the outfit into a skirt, or shortening the dress would have helped, but I do love the pose. It is given potential warrior princess vibes and I know you would kick my ass because A) I struggle to get out of bed in general and B) the front leg pose is one kick away from knocking me out till the next game update on this site. Sprite: I'm going to be honest with you which sounds like I have been lying to you the entire time...which is not true. I only lied once. I was worried about you with makeovers. Neon green was your thing and when I saw you didn't have it, I thought you were going to burn down the set, but I must say you did a wonderful job with this photo. The new hair is amazing. The outfit is great with the flow of the wind. It looks natural, not a wind machine brought to you by Lowes (the next Sponsor for this episode). I love how you played with the sand. You got dirty and wasn't afraid to do. I guess all of those Royales taught you something. Your face showcases that you mean business and I think I should be afraid of you. Honestly people need to watch out for you in this competition and hope that you get KNEE in the comp because you are the person to watch out for. Plus no shoelaces, so thank you. MissKant: Out of all of the photos, the pose, position, and overall look is the most unique and I say this as a compliment. It is giving a mad max position and vibe but you are in glamour. Maybe more like you were running and then you did a complete stop and this was shot we got and honestly I like it. If anyone disagrees then they are blind because my opinion is right and their opinion is wrong (jk everyone is valid). I love the wind flow of the dress and the hair is fun. Your pose is giving Discord Adams walk so take how you feel about that. Clearly you have full control in this shot because you didn't fall flat on your face which would have been embarrassing. The red is great too! Great job! GatoPisado: Your photo is giving promo picture for Drag Race which I think that is fine. If we just stamped your name above your head people would think we just leaked the first Queen for S19. The fiery background is a nice touch and I appreciate you exploring a different route with the background and applying it to your look. It makes it look like you caused this. Smokey the Bear did say "only you can prevent forest fires" but he didn't say anything about desert fires...smh. Normally I would be a fan of black shoes and would understand why you would have that color with the other color scheme you have, but I think it draws away the focus on the rest of the look. We want to see you not the shoes. I think a neutral color pump would have been better for this photo. Unless the shoe is a fancy one, stick to some neutral so we don't lose focus on you unless the challenge was about shoes. Besides that, great job! KaliMinaj: Very goddess attire and I love it. Love the T Shape pose and makes the outfit give a butterfly look. With how the lighting is in the background it really highlights you and makes the photo stand out more. We see traces of the wind through your hair and outfit where it isn't too dominate and overall I think it is really good. I think it does need something to push it to the very top but I can't put my finger on it. To me very high safe vibes and I think it is just because we are so early in the competition and there are a lot of models left. Antog: A lot is happening here. From a quick glance, I thought you were surrounded by like some lava type, but realize that it is a foil type dress. The more I look at it, I start to like it, but some people may not give it the chance. I do think your eyes should be open instead of close, but the pose is nice though. Maybe if the image was zoomed out a bit so we can see the full outfit and everything we could get the full effect because I think the concept and idea is good, just the execution felt a bit flat with some of the choices. akaliuchis: One thing I want to point is the consistency with the wind. The hair is going one way while the fabric is going the other way. Besides that I do like the outfit. It is giving model vibes, but some of the pictures I have seen give a realistic vibe, but yours gives I'm a model wearing an outfit in the dessert situation. I want the realism as if I was there seeing this happen and I took the picture, not a crew. Maybe if you were on one knee instead, that would be better, but this is still nice. manyomash: Yes! This is beautiful! The color choice of the outfit, the way the fabric moves through the wind, the pose being just right, and you face being effortless as you just said "oh me doing this perfectly? This is just my first time. I had no clue I was great at it". I saw comments last round about some photos should be zoomed in to see things, but I don't because we would lose the beauty of the pairing of you gracefully controlling the wind with that fabric because I know if I did that my ass would have fallen in the sand, eat the sand, and I would have flooded the place with my tears. You might the sleeping agent in this competition and I can't wait to see more of your looks! TREND ALERT: Sand Overall: This would be a hard theme for me to do, so good job everyone and whoever is the Mochalatte of the season, it is okay. You still did amazing and just remember to get the sand out your shoes and buttcrack <3 Rankings: I had to like to change this list like 5 times.

Hello models, This week is one of my least favourites since all Dimitra asked for was to be a pretty girl on top of the dune so you better have done the bare minimum at least. Maris - Dress code was satin dress and while it does look good, it does not read satin. Love the pose, reads as regal. Jane - Being so pale and having that dress does not favour you. The scenary while I read that couldn't have much, you could've added something to improve the lighting in the photo, seems kinda lazy. The only thing I like is your makeover, rocking that bald head. Cristi - TETAS! While it does look good, the pose is very boring and doesn't read as high fashion with the girls being so out and big. The prompt was very clear on top of the dune and there being a higher point in the photo, does not work. Justini - Welcome to the competition. I have the same critique as Jane, the background is too basic and doesn't read as on top of the dune like Cristi's, just in a desert. The pose is fine, nothing interesting. Much better. lluckygc- Finally someone who has followed all the instructions. The sun hitting your hair to perfection. The pose is the most interesting so far BUUUT girls be careful with the necks. Don't hide your chin and neck behing your shoulder. Brat - This is how you eat up a photoshoot. There's not much to critique here. The pose is different and interesting, the dress fits you like a glove, the sunlight is perfect on you. The ONLY thing is the hand you have up in the hair could be stronger cause the hand seems kinda lazy the rest being to strong but it's just the only but. Medusaluh - While the photo looks very good girlies you need to READ the prompt. I understand it's a boring theme but some of you are making even more boring. Where is the dune??? While I get the vibe, your facial expression is not it, looking down, very tall but no neck. bubba - I have the same critique as Jane, being so pale and having that color dress does not do you any favours, you get veeery lost in the photo with the dunes being so light as well. The lighting doesn't do you any favour as well. Sprite - I can see a strong contender for the crown in front of my eyes. Having the sand falling through your hand is KEY to add something interesting to the photoshoot. Your look is so soft right at the sunset, it fits perfectly. No bad critiques, the other girls better watch out. I do miss your green hair <3 MissKant - While I do appreciate the angle and pose being so different from the rest of competitors, it doesn't read dune or desert or anything, I'm missing like half a picture once again. GatoPisado - She's on top of the world not just the dune hahaha I appreciate the pose being a bit different from the rest, not just standing. The face needs some work. The scenary is one of my faves, the sun is setting and the wind is starting to pick up make the sand be a bit wild but not taking anything from you. The heels are a choice... The small details make the difference. KaliMinaj - I do love the scenary gold dress as in GatoPisado's picture. The pose is a bit not interesting. Careful cause we can almost see your coochie. Very safe, time to take some risks if you want to stand out. AntoG - What am I looking at? At the worst photo from season 2 I guess... Not much to critique cause it's just a complete mess. akaliuchis - First one that isn't standing up and it looks fab. The black dress is perfect to contrast how light the sand is. Love the very intense eye contact with the camera. manyomash - The pose is chief's kiss, one of the best. I understand that the dress flowing was your main point but being so far I lose you a little bit. Would have loved maybe another angle that we could still see you and the dress cape flowing. Y'all are lucky I didn't win last season and am not a judge cause Dimitra 's prompt are to follow, if she says satin dress on top of the dune it can't be whatever dress in the middle of the desert, that's not the challenge. I know sometimes it can get boring to follow such strict directions, but when you're out of the show you can do whatever shoots you want, but right now you have to follow the prompts!!!
