Photoshoot #2 - Calendar Girl (Miss August)

[Ziyi Zhang]

I chose this picture because I think it best represents the summer holidays. I'm dressed for the occasion and enjoying some fun in the sun.

Sonam: Gorgeous. Very fashionable for me. I love the styling. Simple and stunning. Overall, I don't really have much problem with your photo this week, Ziyi

[Amanda Kimmel]

I'm not completely feeling that hat - it completely camouflages your hair and it almost looks like you're wearing it to cover up baldness; perhaps if it was higher-res, we'd be able to see it better. It also doesn't seem to be the kind of hat you'd wear for "fun in the sun" like mine is:


I love my hat.

Getting back on track, yours doesn't really seem like a "summery" sort of outfit - it seems more like a formal occasion. It does strike me as a summery formal occasion, though, so I'll give you that - it's just that you're not selling it for what it should be. This still is a summer/fall outfit, though, so it works for the theme despite my being nitpicky. It's a very nice photo, I'm just trying to be picky! I don't even know why! I'm getting carried away!

so yeah it works.

Sonam: I think your hat should enter the competition next cycle, Amanda.. and I'm so going to name next cycle as ANTM Cycle 6: Awesome..

[Mandy Moore]

I just about died laughing when I read that. XD

Sonam, you win. So much.

Anyway, on to my actual critique of Ziyi's photo.

I like the photo, and I like your explanation, but for some reason this just doesn't scream August to me. However, I love the facial expression, and I love your outfit and accessories. The pose is incredibly high fashion, and you look flawless here. Great job!

[Amanda Kimmel]

That IS win on so many levels. XDDDDDDDDDD

I'll gladly enter my hat in the next competition!


(Ziyi, we are talking about this awesomeness)
