Slyvie's Submission
Emberlin
Very classy expensive blonde, nice and safe... I Would lose the magazine cover, there's just too much airbrushing. The rest of them are good quality photos.
In your selected portraits she looks like a woman who doesn't want to leave her comfort zone, you could've shown her from a bit different perspective as well, something edgier? Or sexier?
B&W is the only one that looks simpler and is getting closest to Sylvia opening up herself.
The one with closed eyes is nice because she's playing another character (Catherine Deneuve?) That was interesting.
I'm not saying all photos look the same, just three of them are very similar, you could've given us at least one different, something more expressive.
Couturhoe
Sylvie is beautiful however the pictures themselves are kind of plain and underwhelming in my opinion, although I do like the b&w one and they are all fitting for the theme. But overall I'm not the biggest fan of the entries.
ModelAesthetics
Even tho your choices are perfect for the theme the model itself didn't overwhelmed me. It feels like the picture is lacking something, maybe some intensity in her gaze? I love the last picture tho, it has a great style and make up!

Linda's Submission
Emberlin
#1 is a beautiful portrait, so breezy, dreamy, nice composition.#3 Iām saying no to this. Face looks so formless. #4 This is like a painting, maybe I wouldnāt exactly put it on my wall, but itās certainly interesting.#2 and #5 Wonderful, these are the very definition of a portrait. Props to you for adding a smiling picture, you were the only one. One of the best pics in this challenge. Timeless, natural, beautiful without the need for editing or hiding the wrinkles.
Couturhoe
You simply can't go wrong with her, for real. Your choices are interesting and fitting and there is a s o m e t h i n g in all of them. In a close-up, almost all the model has is their expression and Linda is definitely working with it perfectly (the styling and the make up are also a really good plus). Well done!
ModelAesthetics
Great choices. Linda's expressions are amazing, all the photos are beautiful and super captivating! Good job!

Natalia's Submission
Natalia's Submission
Emberlin
#3 and #5 are such breathtaking portraits, showing her beauty and youth.#1 is a great photo as well, it has a dark mood, because of empty eyes without any reflection. The lights make the facial features stand out, and itās good because you already have enough pictures showing her magical eyes. # 4 is not that bad, but I wouldnāt give it the highest rating, the picture is weird with the disappearing hairline, the forehead looks big and squared. #2 is a weak one compared to the rest of your collection, could be a catalog pic to advertize the sweater.
Couturhoe
Nata's gaze is always a captivating one and these pictures are definitely a proof of that. Her face is so pure and absolutely mesmerising and I like the fact that you can feel an emotion in all of the entries. Really good job!!!
ModelAesthetics
Natalia is just beautiful so it is easy to any picture of her to look good but her face in close ups is even better. I loved your choices, specially the one with big eyelashes! Your choices are perfect for the theme!

Tatjana's Submission
Emberlin
Great collection. First pic is fascinating, it looks like an eclipse, I love how the half of her face disappears in darkness. And she has such intense eyes. While in the 3rd one thereās this dirt, but at first you donāt even notice it because the bambi-eyes grab your attention. In other pics her eyes look like she is out for a hunt.#4 Interesting in terms of makeup and colors, but as a portrait probably not the strongest pic.
Couturhoe
I really love your choices!! The pictures are different from one another and her eyes show something different in each one of the photos which I quite like. Especially love the one with the colourful make-up, it's stunning!! Wonderful job.
ModelAesthetics
I love how different all the close ups are and how you chose one with an amazing make up and another with an amazing playing of shadows! Great choices

Karen's Submission
Emberlin
Your choice of pictures are very cinematic, first one could easily become a movie poster, almost too perfect.
#2 Love this one, reminds me of Poison Ivy from Batman, fantastic color combination ā the turquoise and vermillion. #3 Perhaps a bit too busy for my taste, and the face is not the best. #4 It is a very great photo in terms of lights and composition, but can kissing be considered a real portrait? Well... perhaps.
#5 Now this is a portrait that shows character and strength in her face, interestingly the arm in a way highlights it.

AMAZING! I love specially the 1st photo but all of them are great. I love the colours, the make up and Karen's face is just wow. Also, the background fits perfectly all the photos!

Anna's Submission
Emberlin
I am most captivated with the photos #2 and #4. #2 is theatrical and expressive, nice contrast too.#4 is pure perfection, so effortless and natural and beautiful.#3 itās rather scary, but shows the modelās versatility. #1 Innocent, soft beautiful, you managed to show her from all sides.#5 it looks like it wasnāt meant to be a portrait at all, the body mustāve been simply cropped off, also layout shouldnāt be horizontal like that, because it leaves too much empty space on the sides.
Couturhoe
Anna sure has an interesting face and I absolutely love the first close-up. The others are beautiful on their own as well (and they all fit the theme) however I don't think they work so well as a whole, as they give off the same kind of vibe.
ModelAesthetics
I love Anna's features so any close up of her is a great choice. On the other hand i find the last 3 photos a little repetitive and it would be interesting if you chose close ups with different aesthetics

Edita's Submission
Emberlin
You didnāt choose at least one portrait that would show her face completely, eyes are either shut or the face is partly hidden, or painted.Otherwise pictures are pretty. Only the hand on the last pic looks a bit awkward. And the #3 is not a very successful picture in my opinion, maybe would look good in editorial, but not alone.
#2 is brilliant. Great combination of colors, all facial features highlighted, and so many layers of lights colors and shadows, I donāt even know how the photographer achieved it.#4 Very nice. Lights are so warm, the flower is right in place, looks like she is tasting the summer, her amazing cheekbones are standing out.
Couturhoe
Edita's face is a work of art, so gentle and so feminine, and all the close-ups accentuate that perfectly. All the coloured pictures have the same sort of soft, clean vibe which is something small but I love it and in general I like all the entries, you did a good job.
ModelAesthetics
I liked all the photos. Edita's gaze is captivating and it made all the close ups worth it! I just wished you had taken a little more risks tho!

Magdalena's Submission
Emberlin
I donāt quite like it, all portraits are weak. In the pictures model looks either bored or doesnāt have the intensity.
1; 2 & 4 are not bad but there is nothing special in them either, First picture would be better if it wasnāt so photoshopped.#3 What an awkward make up and styling...
Couturhoe
I like your choices, specially the 1st photo! Magdalena bone structure is to die for and I could not stop looking at her cheekbones! This close ups made justice to her beauty
