 I decided to go with a different accessory than the bling, and went with the more nature-friendly rose instead. |

Sonam: I'm not sure if we can consider Rose as an accessory because I think it is more like a prop to me. Beside that this photo is a little bit awkward for me. I was looking for your neck and the position is very awkward Julia

I'm a little confused about why you did this. The photo isn't that great. Its kind of horrible. If you are fighting for redemption, you need to do a lot better than this. Won't be surprised if this is the end of the road for you. Sorry, but thats real talk.

This is a pretty poor Photoshop job. You can't expect to Photoshop something to this extreme (recolors, black and white, watermark/logo removal, lighting adjustments, adding an accessory [if it looks real!], cropping, etc. are all okay - taking a photo of someone else and making it "you" is not okay) and stay alive in the competition. There are several more things that hurt your case: 1) there's no real "accessory" - like Sonam said, the flower is a prop; an accessory is something extra (aside from top, bottom, footwear) you wear, like jewelry or a hat (I'm a hat person myself), 2) your face makes you look like a man, 3) your pose is completely unnatural and that makes it look obviously doctored in ways I wouldn't consider "allowed," 4) there's nothing happening here whatsoever - there's no scene, no moment, no anything, no reason to eat a flower, and, to get straight to the point, this is, without a doubt, the worst photo submitted in the entire competition.
I'm going to be meaner than Brody and lay it right out there for you: This IS the end of the road for you.

Tom: I think it's a cute photo. I do feel though that your head is just plopped on something, i don't like the background lighting but the flower is cute and i like the coloring.
>_< no need to be mean and Amanda since why are you the host? I thought the pretty Bollywood Actress was the host and told people when it was the end *scratches head*

I'm not trying to be the host. Brutal honesty might not be the "best policy" but... there's no way I can see this "photo" saving anyone... no offense, it's just the most realistic outcome.

Well Amanda dear I didn't photoshop it, I found it as it is, but yeah whatever. Some people have nothing better to do in life than to tear other people down, but I know I'm going, and I still had a great time despite your constant negativity. I tend to focus on the positive, but some people are so torn up about their own lives they have nothing better to do than try to tear others down. For that I feel sorry for you dear.

You are really calling me a bully? I found absolutely nothing positive about this photo. It definitely is Photoshopped - whether or not it was you is irrelevant.
I apologize for trying to be realistic. I guess I should just compliment everyone like a drunk Paula Abdul and not offer anything constructive and therefore not do my job. I tell it like it is. I have been honest with everyone and as a judge, that is my responsibility. If I find nothing to like, then there is no "positive" to focus on, is there?
I am not a bully or a pessimist. I think realistically. And realistically, this "photo," if you'd call it that, is atrocious in pretty much every department. If you take offense to that, so be it. Not everything is good.
As for me being a "bully," you do not know me. I happened to be picked on a lot as a kid and because of that, I felt alone a lot. I hate bullies with a passion and your hypocritical remarks associating me with them make YOU a bully. Don't you understand that direct insults offend a person? I never meant to offend you, but this photo is terrible in every way imaginable and Tyra would probably have been just as brutal on it. There is a fine line between a judge's harsh criticism of a photo and a personal attack like you just perpetrated.
I would wish you luck, but you are not worth any more of my time. Good bye.
