I would have called this girl before Amanda or Yaya - Yaya's pic was great this week, but it required a lot of retouching, which was part of the idea for the week. Amanda's was great, too, but she had an automatic advantage because of how strong her eye colour was, and she didn't need to do much in front of camera. This, on the other hand, required a bit more subtlety.
^you can't punish Amanda for her eye color though. But yea she's smiling with her eyes and this is just beyond perfection like Amanda's. 2nd best of the week.
Does anybody know where I can find the actual makeover pictures this cycle? You know the ones they took right after the makeovers, the before and after ones, I need them for Extreme America's Next Top Model
K-J, what I mean is that Amanda's photo was great more because of her physical appearance, though good posing was still a factor. Nicole's beautiful, but maybe not as naturally striking up close as Amanda, so it would take more work for her to achieve an interesting shot, which she did. Hence why I'd give Nicole the edge in this shoot, albeit only barely.
This was easily my favorite of the week. It's cute, soft, 'commercial' enough to be an ad.
