Hello Boys!!!
Welcome to your Third Judging session for this cycle.
Let's start our judging session now!!!
First Up, Team Chapeau
Team Chapeau
David: Ok, I need to tape something to my screen when I'm the first to give you a critique cause when I see your signature, I can't help but smile. Anyway, back to the assignment on hand, yes I would definitely call Nico a "Hunky Dreamboat", but I'm not sure this picture is him at his hunkiest. I just feel like this picture is missing something. He's very attractive in the picture, but he's very attractive in pretty much any picture you'll find of him. To me, this picture's just missing a "wow" factor. It's still a really good picture... it's just not quite there completely for me this week.
Betty: Yes, you would call Nico a Hunky Dreamboat, bu I don't see it in this picture. Apart from your beautiful face, there's not much more than that's a dream boat here.
Taecyeon: I think you look great here. Very fresh. Your eyes here are so sexy. I love the way you look at the camera. Wish we could see more of your 'hunky' side but overall for me, this is still good enough for you to advance to the next week
Zach: I do think the persona fits perfectly. Nico is a hunky dreamboat and the photo really shows it. But personally i see more of an adorable Nico not soo much a hunky one. I'm loving your eyes, they just pull me in and i'm hypnotized... other then that everything else is just kind of bland but i still love the photo.
Betty: I like that you tried something different, and a bit risky, but I think this would have been better for a different shoot. For a persona shoot, it doesn't really fit, especially since heartbroken.. It's not really a persona.
Taecyeon: I get the heartbroken in this photo. I can feel the sadness in your eyes. It's very gloomy and dark but it's appropriate for you to go that road, since you were supposed to be heartbroken this week
Zach: I'm going to agree with Taceyeon... this photo totally reads heartbroken. The black and White add to the mood even more. I'm glad you took a risk because this is a great photo.
David: Zach said a word in his critique that I actually latch onto and really appreciate in models: risk. You did take a risk with this photo and I will always appreciate stuff like that. You do look heartbroken in the photo and the photo being in black and white only makes it better. The shadows in the photo really compliment the theme, too. This is definitely a step in the right direction for you, Chord.
David: You look cross-eyed in this picture. I would say this is elevated streetware, but I'm not quite sure it's at the "sophisticated range" yet. The pose works well for the theme you've chosen for yourself and it's a good level of accessorizing for the theme, as well. It's all just a bit hit and miss for me, though.
Betty: You should wear glasses. They'd look really hot on you. I agree that the clothing is elevated street clothes, but that's the idea of street but sophisticated. The pose and the facial expression work well, but I'd like a bit more emphasis on sophisticated.
Taecyeon: I like your sense of style, Tae Yang. But I agree with the judges, you need to inject a little bit more sophisticated in your photo so we can see the blending of street & also sophisticated styling better. But I still love this photo. You look great and comfortable.
Zach: I can kind of see the theme here... your outfit can be the street part and then the background is one of the spiffy couches where i can see the sophistication but its not really standing out to me.
David: This reads a bit more awkward than goofy to me. The outfit does still look like something you might see a teacher wear to school and I appreciate that you're selling the picture as being a photo for school. I can buy that. My main criticism just stems from your choice of words when choosing your persona. This is pretty much just the "Pick Your Own Theme" week, so you had full control over what your theme was for this week and the word "Goofy" just leads me down a different path than this picture.
Betty: That shirt sure is goofy, and is probably what a teacher wears. Well, the arts teachers... But it does look more awkward than goofy. I'm with my sexy British counter part.
Taecyeon: I think you picked a good persona but I think you can execute the photo better. You look a little bit uncomfortable and lost up there. The setting also just didn't work for me. It was too obvious that the setting was fake and unreal.
Zach: I like it! i can see goofy teacher in this. I just wish your face had more emotion but then again your face is different from the same facial expression we get all the time.

You look smoldering hot in this picture and I love the scruff. You have such an intense and sexual look in your eyes and your pose is fantastic. We don't even need to see the rest of you. This is enough to appease us... for now
