this is beautiful, its so simple and clean and very stunning. look at her jaw line. its gorgoeus. love the hair and love the way she is posing. i love the legs out like that and the face is serine and fierce at the same time.
^ Funny that you say that, 'cuz I actually LIKE the pose waist-down! I like that the pose isn't boring, it's not intuitive, and it creates a sense of spatial depth. But... it is kinda awkward, so I can see how you don't like it.
I think Anya took amazing photos but I agree with Heartbeat_Rock, this is Anya's worst photo. But for this to be someone's worst photo that certainly says that she was a strong competitor. EDIT: I looked at her post-makeover shot again and remembered that THAT one is her worst. This one would then be a distant second.
I don't know if "serene" is what I'd be going for in a shoot with this theme though. Also, I think it's comparitively her (second) worst. It's not bad it's just not as good as her others. I think her makeover one was flat out bad though but I think that was her only out right poor photo.

Damn, this is one of my favorite ANTM pictures. She does look short but the whole pose and face make-up for it. I love this shot!
As long as Ms. Anya wins...
