Well, since everyone turned int heir stuff early (way before due time) everything will be posted early!
This weeks shots where stunning, you guys will enjoy what the 7 contestants brought to the table this week. I'm fully impressed, and judgment this week was really hard, thats all I can really say.
Tasha Darke
Judges Comments:
Judge 1: To be quite honest, your level of shots every week have been so good that this week is truly a little disappointing. The armor is perfectly fine, and I think it really makes Tasha look like a star. However, the background is a little generic and really doesn't seem to emphasize any particular trait of Tasha's. I mean, we've seen such innovative and creative things from you, that this really seems a little safe. The cropping on the right has a little too much space. Not bad not good.
Judge 2: You have been on fire after the first assignment, and you have become the contestant to beat here. But when I saw this, it wasn't like Tasha at all. I was expecting more edge and attitude after what I have seen so far. It is a beautiful picture, I love the soft subtle pose and the view is amazing. And even the cherry blossoms above your head is a nice touch. But it just doesn't represent the Tasha we know, and just looks like you are supporting the Canthan area.
Judge 3: I love Tasha in this shot, if it weren't for the background here, I think that you may have possibly done better. It's distracting, but yet somehow even though distracted, my eyes where always drawn back to you! But then I find my eyes wandering after I've looked at you again! Thats something you should look for, after being top superstar a couple times, it should be in your blood now.
Rosemary Marron
Judges Comments:
Judge 1: My eyes just had an orgasm! Holy Ritualist, this is sensational!! Many contestants and public audiences were complaining that the ritualists would have "glamorous" poses, and I'm glad you proved them wrong. This pose is edgy, spunky, and the background only makes me more focused on your character. The armor choice was GREAT (that little skull dangly thing is sooo cute), and just whoa. You rocked this. You have made all ritualists proud.
Judge 2: I love this shot, and I will tell you why. You are the main focus. You didn't find anything to bring the eye away from you. You picked a wonderful piece of sky that is just gorgeous with those mixtures of oranges and blues that fits well with the armor your wearing. The pose is gorgeous and almost looks model-esque. Its just simply amazing.
Judge 3: Hmm....Very awkward pose but yet, sexy. The rits this week did really well. I'm surprised at that. I love how the armor blends with the orange clouds to your left. The facial expression shows a strong woman here as well. Like she takes her career serious, but isn't always serious about everything. It is seriously going to be hard to choose immunity this week.
Eryn Shadowbane
Judges Comments:
Judge 1: Paragons have sexy undies. But sadly, the undies kinda stole my attention more than the character did. The background is beautiful, but the lighting is really detracting from the overall image. Instead of the focus being on you, the white undies are emphasized because of the dark tree camouflaging with your skin. The pose is simple yet effective, but overall the mistakes on this are just too evident for us to fully enjoy this shot.
Judge 2: I'm surprised that you actually chose a spot that was really too dark for your character. Not that its way to dark but you are on the wrong side of the tree to bring that gorgeous light from the background to bring out the skin of Eryn. I love the place that you picked, very serene...but I'm not a big fan of the pose and the lack of lighting brings it really down.
Judge 3: This reminds me of shots that I saw in TNTM and TMW. Similar poses leaning up against an object to portray a form a sexyness. Which it does, but it isn't exactly glamor. The undies add to the effect more, but not enough to fully show it. I'd have to agree that the lighting in this isn't that great as well, the only thing going here really for you is that Eryn is sexy.
Queen Kitiara
Judges Comments:
Judge 1: This is the best I've ever seen Queen. Give yourself a pat on the back, because this is a HUGE improvement. The armor color brings great focus to Kitiara (but the boots are a little out of place), and the landscape choice was brave and showed your bold personality. The pose reinforces the idea of a strong personality, and just overall, massive improvement. HOWEVER there are things to fix. Cropping is still an issue. For any type of beauty shot, when you place a thin pose right in the middle of the shot, it doesn't work as well as if you cropped it to the sides. However, if you take a look at Sue's, if your pose is MASSIVE and spans the entire shot, than cropping it in the middle will produce the most pleasant effect. You have some expectations to live up to next week, Ms. Kitiara!
Judge 2: I think you were the brave one here, that choose an area that has alot of architecture here. Usually, some models and actors will choose something that is soft and clean to be on their background rather than the hustle and bustle of the curves, and intricate designs of the city. Although you risked it here, it worked quite well. Wasn't the best location of the city, but it works and the main point is you.
Judge 3: Damn, thats one hot wammo if I do say so myself. Could I get her pho...oh right, I'm supposed to do this judging thing. I love how this shot shows attitude in Kitiara that she has shown us throughout most of this competition. You're shots are improving, and I defiantly see a glamor Diva here, but not completely. The background is very bold compared to your character, maybe something softer would have made you shine more. You did well on this assignment, good job.
Sali Sue
Judge 1: Great armor choice, decent scenery. Apart from that, I think you missed the boat here. The pose is questionable, and the statue in the background actually draws a little more attention than you expected. Most of all, I think the problem is your eyes are closed (which came from the pose) it just makes me lost interest in this entire shot.
Judge 2: Um... I dont get how this is glamour. That is all I can say.
Judge 3: I don't really see glamor here at all. The shot is also way to close to you in my opinion. Theres so much that could have been improved on in this shot. I also feel that the desert isn't a very good choice for a "glamor" shot. Theres nothing much really I can add. Aside from that our MILF is still good looking in her armour.
Ashling Fey
Judges Comments:
Judge 1: Uh? How did you do this? Skills I say, SKILLS! Okay, this is sensational. Again, you proved that you didn't have to use a "glamorous" rit pose to succeed. SO simple, yet brilliant. This background fully emphasizes your character, and you look almost angelic (though rits worship grenth). The ornaments on your hair matches the armor, matches everything, and I don't know what else to say. This is flawless. Except I wouldn't mind if your hair wasn't so blinding!
Judge 2: Orange you glad you picked this spot? Hehe sorry for the bad pun. I love the colors here, and its almost reminiscent of your application picture you submitted. It is just gorgeous down to the simplistic pose that works so well here. It shows you, who you are, and your keeping at that. Love it.
Judge 3: :O..........*drool* Like......*drool*. I'm speechless to be honest. Ashling is hot hot hot here. This is exactly what I was looking for in this assignment. It couldn't have been done better then this. My only slight problem is, you are very bright, but it morely adds to the shot then it does in a negative manner, once again, hot.
Sue Aside
Judges Comments:
Judge 1: Ya know, the first thought that came into my head was The Bride from Kill Bill. The white gown, the samurai sword, you just looked like you came right out of Kill Bill. Awesome action, awesome lighting, makes Sue look like she's popping out from the screen. The background was decent, nothing to write home about. However, glamor isn't here... I TOTALLY see spunk and personality, and that was one part of the assignment, but you're missing the other half. Just as a GW shot, this is STUNNING. But as a glamor shot, this doesn't work nearly as well.
Judge 2: The place is great, I like that you choose some armor that was pretty bright and angelic looking. But I'm kind of confused about the pose. It doesn't scream glamor to me, it was like you took a different route here. Maybe you were experimenting with this shot, I don't know, but it doesn't work for this assignment that well.
Judge 3: Holy Cleavage Batman! That was the first thing I noticed in this shot. It's sexy, but not exactly the glamor shot I was looking for. This would go really well with an action shot, that we had previously in the competition. Like another judge stated, this is more "Kill Bill" then glamor. Although I felt it would be easy for a Mesmer to portray it, because Mesmers are known for being "high classed" her say. Although this shot is hot, it isn't fully what this assignment was asking.
Results to be posted soon!
We shot twice and I was about to drive Sue crazy with a 3rd cuz I have a annoying habit of shooting/ assessing and shooting again till I really like a shot. Lesson learned here is that it's hard with a partner and time zone issues blah blah :P so better get quicker at assessing while shooting! Each night we did a different place and worked on improving after reviewing shots...by the time Sue could get online Sunday it was only thirty minutes left for getting a shot and that was just to little time darn it...hopefully I will get the chance to kick butt next week. As for my picture, we had a major height problem with Sue towering above me and hence the bowing but trying to have the cops trying to catch up...I tried hard to listen to my 2 major past flaws - too much good ideas at once (busy) and no skill auras! ...so hence the selection of the shot...but then later I did more work trying to improve and wanted to go for a flat out hardcore run(for our third shot) I was hoping to have a mob chasing Sue with me at the front on the outskirts of Ascalon...couldda been (I feel) right on. Ahh well, tempus fugit - and I didn't have enough of it. 
<3 Kitiara
Really liked Sali's shot too - made me think City of Heroes when I saw her outfit. Seems I need to work on my shot cropping and composition a bit and the next assignment will really show that up.
