Sorry to see you go Fruity D:

My vote is for Raquelle! You go gurrrrrl

It's going to be so hard to choose between these two for the finale. They've both had a strong showing all throughout the competition... I love Raquelle's strong form and Sylvie's cool confidence and they both are equally awesome in different ways!

After much debate though, I think I have to say Raquelle.

By the by Rongi, the link in the video description is not there/not working.
It's very nice to see them truly side by side. Overall though, I feel Raquelle is definitly more on the expressive side, whereas Sylvie is generally more serene in her pose and expressions. Both have absolutely great shots with few flaws, so I'm solely going from personal taste here.
Put into contrast against each other, Raquelle wins for me. She puts a bit more variety into her shots which keeps her interesting.
Sorry, Slyvie :( You are excellent still!

It was a hard choice because both have such awesome pictures, but I think I'm going to have to go with Raquelle,

I think I'll have to go against the tide for this one. I personally find a lot of Raquelle's shots to be pretty bland and boring to my eye, so I think I'll have to cast my vote for Sylvie her shots just made me go "Wow" and "This looks awesome" a lot more than Raquelle. I can see a few shots where Raquelle is obviously superior to Sylvie, but a majority of Sylvie's shots are my favourite.

bump bump bump! :D

Awww, Fruity!

Am I still allowed to vote? Do I count!?

After looking over both albums, and my past votes, I'll be voting for my girl Raquelle` ;) Even with your weaker shots, you still shined compared to others. Good luck!

Well, Rongi graciously informed me that I am permitted to vote!

And I have to give my vote to Sylvie! I loved the creativity of your shots, your use of lighting and scenery!

Go Sylvie!

Raquelle, I love your shots so much as well! You show such ferocity in some of your shots, where Sylvie shows serenity. It's truly a beautiful balance between the both of you. And it made it so hard to choose between you!

This was a very tough call for me...I went through each of their shots individually and chose who had the stronger, overall portfolio in my opinion.

Feedback:

Shot 1

• In this shot I chose Sylvie's as the stronger screenshot, as the overall atmosphere was a lot stronger. The image was serene and very beautifully done, where everything just seemed so natural with each other.

Shot 2

• For this one, I felt Raquell had the better screenshot. Her composition was better as well as the overall use of color and tone. The balance of value's were a lot stronger as well, making it really stand out as a beautiful piece.

Shot 3

• This one was tough, but ultimately, I chose Sylvie due to the fact of the creativity of it. She managed to not only use just one, but several npc's to complete her photo. And was able to make her character really belong, even without using the same outfit as the npc's. I thought it was a super creative take.

Shot 4

• Another hard one, but my vote went to Raquelle. Despite the focus being primarily on the beastman, I thought the framing of the sword, the dynamic angle, the colors...all made it a stronger piece. Again, both were good, but that one just stood out to me more. Probably due to it's stronger clarity.

Shot 5

• This one was VERY hard to choose between...but I'm going to have to give it to Raquelle. Reason being, she was able to use the monochromatic feeling of colors to her advantage, and also kept the overall composition of the shot well organized. The camera had a nice balance of objects in the forground, background, while not overpowering or meshing with the foreground. I also thought those poof balls were so fluffy! DEADLY...but fluffy!

Shot 6

• Another tough one. Although Sylvie has a better balance of color, I think the overall composition of Raquelle's shot gives it a slight edge. The different poses add a nice sense of diversity in the shot, with a beautifully balanced background. The shot was also very uniform. Keeping with the winter theme, and using the Shiva weapons was a nice touch.

Shot 7

• This was a WOW moment when I saw BOTH of these! I honestly couldn't decide between them. Both were powerful pieces in their own way...so I give them both a point!

Shot 8

• For this one, it goes to Sylvie mostly for her use of her weapon to frame her face. The shadows and tones also really make her stand out.

So that means...

Sylvie - 4 points
Raquelle - 5 points

Raquelle comes out with the better portfolio for me. It was really really hard as they are both very talented models/photographers.

Took almost an entire day to really think all this out, constantly re-watching all the episodes and looking through their portfolio's again and again.

Some shots were consistent and others were just marvelous and amazing!!! It was really hard for me to really get down and start critiquing each and every small detail (to my liking, and to what I know,) on who I felt really shined above the rest.

Both girls did amazing jobs!! But I feel one had more style, flair, and wonderment. And my vote for Youtube's Eorzea's Next Top Model is....

Raquelle!

Bumpity Bump! Where are all the voters? xD

I'm going to have to vote for Sylvie! I loved a lot of Raquelle's shot's, but overall Sylvie's stood out to me more.
