 April showers bring May flowers! I also love how the pose is a profile shot.  |

Those are sunflowers, and they don't bloom in May. From my experience, they're usually in bloom in July and August and are most commonly associated with summer. This picture doesn't fit with May - it seems too early in the year. My calendar just has random pics of me for random months, but most of them are similar Survivor pics... and you only have one to win us over with.
I also don't like how your bangs are falling over your face - since your head is tilting to the side, we don't get to see much of your expression; a profile shot really doesn't make the most sense here, since this is the image people will look at when checking their schedule. I can hardly make out your eyes and the resolution is low... and I really don't see a focal point here. YOU need to stand out here, and this image makes the flowers sort of engulf you.
I don't mean to be rude... but I don't really like it. There are too many issues with it. Since July was available, you should have picked that and you would have done a heck of a lot better. Sorry.
XOXO,
Amanda

Sonam: Wow Amanda... I learn a lot of things from your critiques. Kinda remind me of Mrs Danielle, my junior high school science teacher. Well back to your photo. I love the profile shot. I think you should close your mouth. I actually love the simplicity of this photo. The sunlight and the hat for me fit the May. Good luck

Eh, I didn't know that about the sunflowers either, and my guess is that neither will the average person at home. While I agree with Amanda that the blooming thing is indeed an issue, I'm going to choose to overlook it. To me, modelling is about what looks good, not about what's true. (Case in point, if it was more about truth than looks, we wouldn't wear makeup.)
I think that this is a step up from last week's photo, and you definitely did try to deliver something that wasn't safe. I think it's an interesting shot, and I find the pose intriguing and creative. Wish we could see more of your outfit, and it's a bit hard to make out your facial expression here, but overall it's quite an improvement.
