Eorzea's Next Top Model Cycle 4 - Round 4

[Oce]

This one was really hard wow they're all really great!! Gosh, I don't even know how to score them but I'm gonna try my best.

Sunny Day // I think this shot is, objectively, the best. It has a great framework and angle, the effects are really nice, and you can tell it's Garlean! The contrasting colours work well, whether or not that was intentional! I really have nothing to add that would have made this shot better, which is why it gets my first place vote this round.
Brun Hilda // I really like the composition of this, The magitek in the back mid-shot (I assume??) was a great touch, it looks like a spotlight and works really well for this! My only complaint would be that the sky feels a bit empty, and would have worked better with the moon, or one of those bright purple stars, in between yourself and the building in order to draw the eye around in a nice circle.
Nozomi Kei // The concept for this was probably my favourite of the bunch! Really interesting idea, and the outfit works great! I never would have thought of using that dragon helm with the dreadwyrm set, I might have to steal that for a glamour one day ;> In the mean time, my main critique is that the composition is lop-sided. This sort of frontal picture I think would have really benefited from a perfectly straight-on approach, with even spacing on either side of you with the camera. I also want to say that it might have looked better at sunrise/sunset, with some light beams to really bring the attention of the viewer to the center, but that's just me.
Hopelle Losstoam // I'm not a big fan of the backshot here, and I really wish there was something else making you stand out, but I love the effects you chose and the location has a really nice composition for your shot!
Katahr Mest // The lighting in this is lovely, and so's your composition! I think a different effect other than the A marker, though, would have worked better. The red kind of clashes and brings down the shot, in my opinion. Probably my favourite from you so far, though!
Tinsley Tr'uhart // This is such a great pose, and really nicely posed! Maybe it's just me but, I feel like it could have been "any shoot", it just doesn't feel particularly castrum or garlean to me. A different location in the castrum, maybe with the sky visible, or something to really sell that "angel of vengeance" look I think you were going for, something to make it "pop".. Overall it really is a nice shot, but I think the others took the concept and did something more unique with it.
Stephen Fairbrook // Aaaghhh someone had to be last and I really wish it wasn't you, because I DO really like your shot! It's got such a nice concept and mood to it, but it feels so bland and plain compared to the others. :< Some lighting, maybe, to your far right, or an action that put you in a more "ready to pounce" pose would have really sold this shot to me.
