12. Cherish

Cherish also majorly declined in this photoshoot. The pose makes it look like she stumbled and had to grab onto Krislian for support. Her expression is somewhat drunken, mostly due to the unfocused eyes and the weird underbite open mouth. I can see why Cherish was sent home, but since I loved her first two shots so much I might have given her another chance.

#3 – Cherish

From the waist up, this is perfection. There is not a single thing I would change, and if the shots were cropped from there Cherish would get first call-out. Her face is stunning, and the hands are so delicate. It is serving me cute and sexy, like a 1950s pin-up girl. I also love how her skin looks with her red hair, freckles and the gold dress. Incredible. Sadly though, the bottom half does exist. It isn’t atrocious, but it does make her look short. I wish she had tried to lay flat, with a slight twist, and elongate herself beautifully.

1. Tash

Tash nailed this shot. Her stance has so much power and her body looks terrific. The three-quarters profile angle works brilliantly for her bon structure (particularly her jawline), and her expression is just full of energy. Tash’s confidence performance resulted in an amazing photo!

2. Kyle

Where the hell did Kyle come from? This is a stellar photo. She looks totally fierce and edgy while connecting effortless with the came. The pose is also on point and I really like the way she’s leaning back into Cody. The was the first (and also the last) time that I saw modeling potential in Kyle and I’m glad that she delivered at least one strong performance.

3. India

I absolutely love India’s understated approach in this picture! Her pose is so simple but still connects everything in the shot. Her face is stunning and I love how relaxed, soft, and ethereal she looks. My eyes immediately go to her and it’s not just because of the colored hair. India really stepped up her game this week!

4. Marissa

Marissa looks dynamite in this shot. I love the strength in her eyes and she found an angle that works fantastically for her facial features. She also pulled off the chin-to-shoulder pose pretty much perfectly. She held her own in the middle of the scene and delivered one of my favorite shots in her portfolio.

5. Tatiana

The top half of Tatiana’s shot is awesome. I love the come hither expression and the way she positioned her arms. However, she’s yet another girl who did the raised-up leg thing and it just makes the bottom half of her body look awkward. I still think the good outweighs the bad here though.

6. CoryAnne

CoryAnne was definitely overrated by the judges this week, but it’s a decent shot. I think her face looks so gorgeous here and she brought the perfect amount of seductive energy. The pose is more of a mixed bag though. Her body looks great, but her arm looks stiff and she also didn’t extend her neck enough.
