Ben: In a way, it is. She has a beautiful face here, but if she couldn't show off the swimsuit AND have a gorgeous face, there's an issue.

it doesn't look like her...at all...and i'm iffy on the hair. but her and me have the same eyes...and due to my vanity, i like that.

This shot is so much overrated by the judges.I dont like her expression, her makeover and on top of that this photo doesn't show the bikini they were modelling for.

She looks gorgoeus, if the judges love it, good for her. The makeover looks a million times better than I thought it would and now she stands out. She's a lovely girl

this is GORGEOUS. It's not an ad, it's just going to go in her portfolio, so who cares. Best this week!

This is stunning. Like ^dude02 said, its not an add. This is great shot for her portfolio. Stunning. Though I wish Tyra wasn't a dumbass, and she actually edited the tatoo out. One of the best of the week.

I definitly don't think its elinas fault that it doesnt look like an ad, the photographer couldve easily done a body shot with this expression and it would still be just as good and showing the swimsuit.

Pretty, but I think she looks a littel mature. I think this deserved a 3rd call out, tops.

I like this pic, Elina really is photogenic. This isnt a swimsuit ad but thats the photographers fault. And that shit she has on her head isnt her fault its Tyra's.

Not a swmsuit ad but other than that it's a great picture!=)

im not convinced, i still have a problem with this girl...there is nothing wrong with bein a strong woman, but i mean she takes it to far

although i don't like her personality (come on...you can't say you've never loved your mother on national TV, no matter what she did...her and eminem should hook up), she is STUNNING. i agree with r-crazyness about the lack of swimsuit in this shot, but she really worked the makeover. i thought it would have been a disaster for her, but it worked out well.

GORGEOUS face

Wow! Such a strong and beautiful picture. Although I agree with her receiving the first call-out, a lot of people deserved a first call-out that week. Marjorie, Lauren Brie, and McKey.

I love this photo, but I'd like to know how Elina's stuff looked in long-shot. Her right hand looks like it's got a little too much bend in the wrist for me - whereas girls like Sam and Marjorie had shots that looked amazing in longshot AND close-up.

i lovee it her eyes that bright red hair! its great! she is a real front runner in this compition.

she looks so exotic.. but i like sam and lb's better..

really pretty, but not worth first call out. lauren brie sold the swimsuit and face. and samantha sold part of the bikini and face, but i think lauren brie's was the best. this shot is really pretty, but the FREAKING HAIR STILL LOOKS FAKE

Stunning photo I must admit but I swear that I do not agree with panel in choosing this as the best photo of the week, why? First and foremost is because Lauren Brie and Samantha pulled off way better photos and second is because this was supposed to be a swimsuit shoot and I agree in the others in saying that this is more of a beauty shot. Overall, it's still a good picture, just not in theme with the photoshoot...

this picture'd be better sell makeup or perfume or contact lens Not swimsuit
