Her head never looked that big in pictures, which is why it looks fine here, but I reckon they halved the size of that thing while retouching. And honestly, I would have eliminated her sooner. This is just IMO, especially looking at comments for her other pictures, but she took NO shots that I liked. Lauren Brie should have took her place.
^In the long run, I would have kept her here but at the time, Samantha deserved to go before her. Otherwise, she was the weakest of the final 5, coasted on that "bitch I will cut you" expression and her body/walk was not as good as the other girls [exlcuding Samantha]
Elina should have made it to the final 3. Her and Marj had the strongest porfolios in the top 5 IMO, and she had the second strongest walk after Analeigh.
^I'll never get the big hoorah over Elina, she took good pictures but at this point she was the weakest after Samantha, her body needed the most work [after Samantha] and she rested on the "bitch I will cut you" look in her Fierce Eyes, Natural Disasters, Hot Air Balloon and Pirate. The top 3 should have been Marjorie, Analeigh and McKey IMO with Lauren Brie getting 4th place and Elina in 5th.
^I know she probably had close to the least potential but I would have loved to have Joslyn in the top 6, because she really did take 3 gorgeous pictures, 2 bad pictures and an okay picture. It's not her fault they were retouched to hell and back and while this is true, the poses and faces were hers and she was a good model.
I liked cycle 11 because I thought that each girl in the final 5 deserved to be there, unlike most other cycles (Eugena, Dionne, Bianca, Dominique, Aminat) However, I definitely would have LOVED to see Lauren Brie in the final 5 she was eliminated way too early.
Personally, I wish Sheena or Lauren Brie were in Elina's place. Not that Elina is a terrible model or anything, I just thought she should've been gone sooner. I wasn't a big fan of Elina's, but that's just my personal preference.
This is really not dramatic but it is a very visually appealing picture. Face is spot on, pose would've been better had she maybe switched the position of the legs but it looks overall good. I'd take this shot over Sam's or McKey's in a heartbeat. Maybe Analeigh's but that's more because Analeigh just can't seem to look modelesque, like, ever. Otherwise, Analeigh's shot is technically miles ahead of this one.
