1. Fatima

Fatima firmly established herself as a frontrunner with this shot. It’s easily one of her personal best and one of the best of the cycle as well. Her pose is so graceful, and I especially love the elegance of her hand. The overall silhouette is just magnificent. The fabric is flowing, her hair is moving, everything just came together. I love her peaceful expression and regal tilt of her head as well. This shot of Fatima is a piece of art.

2. Anya

I love Anya’s pose, it works really well for the dress, although I wish she had lowered her bent leg just a touch and been more elegant with her hand against the mylar. Aside from those minor flaws I love this photo. The way Anya’s hair is glowing and flowing with the water is so gorgeous and I love the length of her neck. The burning intensity in her eye is stunning and the energy she brought to this photo is absolutely stellar.

3. Katarzyna

From the waist down Katarzyna’s shot needs some work. The bent leg looks a bit off and she’s losing her bottom half in the fabric. However, the rest of this shot is terrific. Her facial expression is so tranquil and her features are stunning (something about her face in this shot reminds me of Natasha from Cycle 8 for some reason; it’s probably the lips). I love how she has her arm up and the motion in her pose is fabulous. Another strong performance from Katarzyna.

4. Dominique

Dominique’s face is insane in this photo. She looks like she’s in a mixture of ecstasy and pain, and her features have caught the light amazingly well. Her pose is super dynamic and she made an interesting silhouette. Her left leg looks a bit short and the slightly disembodied arm isn’t exactly great, but they don’t take much away from a fabulous photo of Dominique.

5. Whitney

Whitney’s face is incredible in this photo. I love how she’s inhaling and her eyes are simply glowing. I wish she had loosened her fetal position pose a little to create spaces for the light to travel through since most of her body looks like a shapeless mass. She needed to point her toes more as well. Overall, it’s a strong photo that could’ve been improved with some tweaks to her body position.

6. Claire

This is a decent photo of Claire. I like how her face caught the light and her arm position is good. I’m not crazy about this from the waist down. Her lower half looks shapeless due to how she bunched her legs and dress close to herself. Even though her performance quality dipped in her final 2 weeks, Claire’s overall body of work was really strong and I think she deserved to stay longer than Lauren or Stacy-Ann.

7. Stacy-Ann

The body shape Stacy-Ann created is decent, all of her limbs look long and I like the elegance of her arms. It doesn’t really stand out but it’s an alright pose. Stacy-Ann clearly didn’t get the memo (like Lauren) that staring straight down into the water doesn’t work at all. Her face looks a bit smushed up against the mylar and her eyes are completely lifeless.

8. Lauren

The worst shot of the week by a significant margin. Lauren’s face is so insanely dead and her eyes are rolling back strangely. A lot of it is due to the framing, but all of her limbs have been amputated and her torso seems disproportionately large compared to her stub legs. I would’ve eliminated Lauren here without question. She was inconsistent in photos and had more misses than hits, plus she was weak in literally every other area.
