#7 – Montana’s Lingerie Shot

We go from one of her more basic shots, to one of pure technical brilliance. Everything feels incidental here, the body is posed daintily, yet completely naturally, highlighting her best features, like her legs. Her face is classical, and taking the makeup well. Another excellent shot from Montana.

I don’t normally do honorable mentions purely for the top 10 photos of the cycle list, but I decided this cycle had to be the exception. There were so many gorgeous shots, across so many gorgeous photoshoots. 10 slots just wasn’t enough to appreciate all the models, and all the gorgeous photos this cycle produced. So here are the 10 honorable mentions, all probably would have been on the top 10 in any other cycle:

Honorable Mentions

Neo’s Parisian Shot

Alissandra’s Parisian Shot

Izzy’s Parisian Shot

Shannon’s Parisian Shot

Neo’s Swimwear Shot

Jess’ Coffin Shot

Yolanda’s Coffin Shot

Amelia’s Editorial Shot

Montana’s Blackmores Shot

Liz’s Dubai Shot

#1 – Montana’s Starlets Shot

I always found the outcomes for this shoot to be pretty reflective of the general state of the season. The other models looking okay, but Montana looking like an absolute angel, slashing away any of the competition with such ease. This was her defining moment, and out of so many stunning photographs it was hard to choose the best. In a season essentially about Montana, of course she had to end up getting top of this list.

#2 – Yolanda’s Parisian Shot

This shot and the top one were nearly impossible to distinguish between. I adore both the exact same, so this ended up getting second more due to the fact it is more simple. But don’t get me wrong, I adore the simplistic chicness of this shot. Yolanda just looks divine here, she is sultry, she is sexy, she is just gorgeous. Without a doubt this photo is still one of my favourite photos of all time.

#3 – Montana’s Pink Paint Shot

Deciding the top 3 was definitely the hardest part of this list. All of them at one point or another topped it. In the end this fell to third for…well, I have no clue why. It just happened to end up like this. Montana’s shot is just blissful almost, it is simply striking in all the right ways. Hazel’s from this week may have been more full force, but this has a quiet power, and I still feel my love for  it growing every time I look at it.

#4 – Montana’s Desert Shot

I am still astounded that this is the same girl from all the other shots. While being varied, they all shared a similar soft, and typically pretty vein. This blew all of those apart. It is just ridiculously fashionable, she is wearing that makeup with power and strength. Her jawline is to die for, and she looks next-level fierce.

#5 – Hazel’s Tribal Shot

Hazel was a bit of a shock for me this cycle. Through the first half she quietly went along, and I totally expected her to be out after Annaliese and Alissandra, but suddenly she just came alive in the last few weeks. This was the turning point, and peak of her performance on this show. This is just such a subtly sophisticated shot. As I said before, this is the kind of shot I imagine seeing on the cover of magazines. It is brilliant.

#6 – Madeline’s Parisian Shot

This is elegant, and high fashion brilliance. Madeline had a gorgeous face, and here she is just exuding sheer upper lass brilliance. Her styling is absolutely gorgeous too, I think that dress looks amazing, the corset is hugging her is, and creating some amazing curves. I know it isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but it is most certainly mine.
