I <3 YOU I chose this photo because first and foremost, Natalie is the focal point. There's no denying that. The couch and the flowers are whitened, so they don't take away from her. Flowers are an obvious symbol for love- Valentine's Day, anyone? But a more powerful symbol is the expression on Natalie's face. Rather than challenging the camera in a fierce, chic way, Natalie is subdued. She's pondering while looking at the flowers, emitting the feeling she's thinking about a certain someone. I see LOVE written all over this photo.

Someone very clearly loves you. Laying back, grasping the flowers, thinking of him... you clearly love him too.
I do like that this is a solo shot and that you went in a different direction than the obvious approach. Overall, this is definitely better than last week and you should avoid being a bottom dweller again. :-)

Sonam: It was a risky move to submit a photo without a companion because you need to translate the emotion of love in your photo by yourself. And for you, I think it really pay off. I love this photo. I can feel the love. Very sweet. This is my favorite photo from you.

While I initially have the same feeling as the other judges, it quickly changes. It almost looks like you are sleeping. You're also holding so many flowers that it looks somewhat awkward. I think this is good enough to keep you in the competition another week, but I want to see more of an improvement!

Tom: Very risky. So far for the love photo i've seen couples, you thought outside the box. No one ever thinks of the little things as love and i really like how you chose something as little as flowers to show love. Like stated i too can feel the love in this picture. Awesome job

Brody, she does have her eyes closed, but she could be daydreaming. Of the guy who gave her the flowers. That is definitely a sign of love, and that is how I interpreted it. It works amazingly.
