Cycle 1 Round 1 -- Judges' Critiques

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Aked



1. Boytoy11: Err…I'm kinda confused here. If you're trying to translate summer heat as a hot guy spending his vacation in the province for summer, nice concept. But to me this looks more like a farm boy trying to seduce his desperate landlord. As far as posing goes, nice body language. But not strong enough to take our attention away from the clutter in the background. It's more man-at-work than summer-hot. I give you props though for your originality and attitude. Good enough to get you through this round, but I know that you could do way, way better than this.

2. carlosantino: if im not mistaken, you are trying to show "kaingin".. ryt? But in this photo, sorry, for me it was a failure..i hate the background, have you think of these before having a pose? do better next round.. DIRTY!

3. Ellis: mainit nga naman ang apoy pero naguluhan ako sa konsepto ng larawang ito. Wala siyang masyadong "wow factor" sa akin.

4. Evian_Yohann: Great job! This is the weirdest yet most intelligent concept among the entries. I’d like to commend you for the very big effort you situated. Nice pose, projection, body detail, theme and / or concept. Steaming hot!!! All elements complimented each other. Keep thinking out of the box!!!

5. Juls2: Love: I love the concept because the forest fire is I guess an out of the box concept. The positioning of the body is ok because you angled it where you are most comfortable.; Hate: I think it would have worked better if the fire is bigger because it appears that you are just making a bonfire or finished herding the two piglets. The eyes lack the necessary expression.; Suggestion: Continue concepts that we as judges will not expect. Just practice your expressions in front of the mirror. Make us feel what you want to convey.

6. lenin: If not for the [picture of a half naked guy in the photo, I would have NEVER mistaken this for a photoshoot. It almost looked like you just thought of this picture out of desperation and jumped right into it without even considering the whole outcome. Come on… two piglets, lil nipa huts and obviously a painful attempt at showing the hazards of –Kaingin- You should have just burned the two pigs there to put more ummmp in the photo. Sorry. Failed.

7. mycomic:

8. nonsense: to be honest this is my least favorite out of the whole group...maybe because there were too much going on for this shot....you didnt' quite come out pretty well...the angle of your body didnt quite work...not much retouching done...which is good...but be very mindful that you have to be very careful with the positioning of the body if you intend to go without retouching...but you pulled off this shot in time and worked with what you have...I have to give you credit for that..=)

9. Rafe_143: you know what? i kind of like this shot....its so "im in the province doing chores but i feel like im in the beaches of bora bora "thing to the photo..but its important to find the light...your face shoul hit the light so we can see it..cuz in this shot..your eyes are hiden by the shadows....

10. rotogold: Honestly, I did not vote for you in the audition round. But you have redeemed yourself in this round. I like the intensity. I like the daring. I like the cool attitude, the devil may care attitude. You could have put a little more sweat, but overall, you are very very hot.

11. SayNO: im sorry. ok it ios unedited and stuff. but hey i do not feel any heat. i dont find the "pagsisiga" funny at all. the photographer i felt didnt have any effort or experience in taking photos. this is so so so noty high fashion, you could actually show the hot filipino provincial summer in a high fashion way, this is too impoverished. bad pose -makes you look like you have stumpy legs- and there is no light in your face.

12. toyan: good job... good effort.. portrayin a summer provincial life... hot hot hot!! way to go! the 2 factors that uve shown in this pic that i like ... are - Poverty in the phils (just a bonus) & - HOT season in the phils

13. yoh_asakura: wow! this is amazing, a very edgy shot. the model's body and face was strong. i very like the setting, a very summery ambiance at the provincial countryside. the flame effects...plus factor!

14. zavier.angel: Very nice conccpt; very bad execution. You should have revealed your chest muscles to make you hot. Opportunity knocks only once. You knocked yourself off instead.

15. ZephyrInTheS: I like this photo. It's unedited, but I can still feel the intensity in your eyes. I like the angle of your legs, but I think somehow the edginess is lacking in how you positioned your arms. Overall I think it was a good effort.

1. Boytoy11: Fo' shizzle my nizzle! Sizzling hot! This photo could've gone soft porn. Might prove to be a bit hoochie for some, but it's alright with me. In this photo you presented us with a hot boy-next-door trying to seek a relief from the summer heat, and you did it quite well. Selling a fantasy is an important ingredient of any great fashion photograph. Though I must say that this pic is more commercial/editorial than high-fashion. Nice boxers. Excellent body language. A bit dead in the eyes. It could've been way better had you used eye contact and connected with the camera. Also, ask someone to retouch that Dunkin' Donuts logo from your water cooler. Awesome long shot, but you lose some of the heat as we zoom in on your face. A great model knows how to marry great body language with a fierce facial expression. Take note of that, and step up your game next time.

2. carlosantino: the photo would be better without the two people behind and a dunkin donut sports bottle endorsement. your eyes is haggard, this photograph skipped the editing portion. but still, nice angle of the body, nice pose and do satisfy the theme. UNEDITED!

3. Ellis: di ko maiwasang mapatingin sa mga tao na nasa likod mo kaya sa susunod, kung di sila kasali sa konsepto mo, wag silang isama sa litrato.

4. Evian_Yohann: A lil bit of editing will make your photo compelling. But I think, you want to present a raw picture and I respect that. You have a great body and you know how to flaunt it with conviction and mastery. Just watch your eyes though in the next themes. It might seem dead and sad.

5. Juls2: Love: The concept is simple but it worked for me. The addition of two ordinary straight men in a public road really catches my attention. You also used one of your asset and that is your body and your facial expression oozes sensuality.; Hate: I am a bit distracted by the Dunkin Donuts brand because it looks like you are their model. Your eyes appear blank and it does not connect with what your lips and body is trying to communicate.; Suggestion: Continue to WOW us with your concept but be mindful that you also need to communicate with your eyes.

6. lenin: ROADKILL! This is what the picture is inviting. The face looks dead, no focus at all and if not for the obvious fact that you were posing there right at the middle of a road, the two men behind you would probably have run over you with that bike. One commercial that Dunkin would probably dread watching. Just be sure that t hey don't sue you.

7. mycomic:

8. nonsense: I like it that it's bare and raw...almost completely unedited..if you did a little twitching with this shot..it would have been perfect...having that said...you could try playing with your angles well...expression in the eyes is there..body language is a bit stiff but I'm sure you can work on it pretty welll...and that's all...you gave it..you connected with the camera and my eyes went straight to you..so you did well with this shot...

9. Rafe_143: the body positioning is good..but i think the face is not strong enough..its like you lost your eyes a little bit...you got to remember that the face is the molney maker..this photo would have been strong with a more intense face...but its still a good shot

10. rotogold: I am ambivalent. I like what I see, but there is something holding me back. You have literally interpreted the heat whilst you wash yourself in liquid. I cannot get the connection with the Dunkin Donut thing. But you know what I still like what I am seeing..

11. SayNO: hot body. i wish you would have done more, or thought more about the photo's theme. "parang photo lang ng friends in an ordinary day".

12. toyan: good!! but not great.. more like one steamy summer afternoon in the suburbs, u can do more than that... with ur pic... something is missing.. and it is called the X factor.

13. yoh_asakura: very good projection and facial expression. You really made me feel you are experiencing the summer heat in your photo. The guys in your background should've not shown.

14. zavier.angel: Every element in a photograph has a purpose. What are those two guys at the background doing? Watching you bare your skin? You should have asked them to move closer and help you make the picture hot.

15. ZephyrInTheS: i like the body angle, but the strain it caused you is a little bit apparent. i can see the discomfort in your face. if your upper lip was more relaxed this would be a great photo.

1. Boytoy11: The photo is fierce, and presents a whole new meaning of the word hot. The waves and the shades all contribute to tie up the summer message in a neat package. The grunge design would've been better though had it been in summer or pastel colors. Nice smoldering eye contact! Would've been nicer had you included your body in the shot. I've seen your work before, you have excellent body language. You must take advantage of that talent and use it in your next photo. Good work for this round. Now I want you to push harder and deliver something hotter next time.

2. carlosantino: model should stand up based on their uniqueness and creativity not because they had watched so or admired things from something else. COPYRIGHT!

3. Ellis: sa unang tingin akala ko si Marvita pero di pala. Hehehe! Mas maganda kay Marvita ang photo na ito ngunit di mo masyado maaninag ang iyong mukha.

4. Evian_Yohann: I’m not getting it! I’m confused. It was artistically done but the theme, “the heat is on!” was not there.

5. Juls2: Love: The facial expression per se w/ emphasis on your lips and focus in the eyes.; Hate: The “adobe Photoshop magic” did not enhance the look but rather it took away the focus from you. A good makeup and the raw attitude will already suffice.; Suggestion: Less is more! I would also expect to see not just the profile picture but the whole body as well.

6. lenin: Well at least you put effort into this. A plus for the effort but other than that, nothing more.

7. mycomic:

8. nonsense: I like this photo of yours...it's nicely done..your connection with the camera is good...the expression in your eyes translates very well in the photograph..you nailed this shot...very good...

9. Rafe_143: i love your photo..the eye contact is totally dead on driven towards the cam..its strong...but the only thing is...i don't immediately get the theme when i first look at it..but after a few closer looks..i get it din...bottom line is..its a great shot...good good...,andi love this theme from cycle 10 din..hehehe so its good for me.

10. rotogold: You are in a festival mood. Are you trying to do a Rio de Janiero? The calculated mood is somewhat awkward. I like the colors because it depicts summer, but where are you?

11. SayNO: Onyn iS heRe and claydoh -- i like the photos. i knoew youre friends but seriously, try not to be "obvious". these are good photos but its doesnt interpret the week theme. this is not about just submitting a good photo each week, we have a theme READ it several times next time./ if you do not understand ask the oragnizers. this is not just about the both of you but goes out to all the models in this competition.

12. toyan: very artistic.. but its over produced... the theme is the heat is on.. but it was overwhelmed by the paints that u used.. the theme is not abstract..

13. yoh_asakura: u should've shown half or even whole of your body to express the theme clearly. You just played summer colors on your face and i cannot see the heat in you. Do better next time!

14. zavier.angel: Fiesta time is really hot. You look like a piece of cake with all the colors.

15. ZephyrInTheS: i think you kinda got lost in the concept of the photo. there's too much going on, and the effects make it difficult to concentrate on you as a model. still, i like how well your eye connects with the audience, and i love the pout of your lips. your fingers look a bit too tense though.

crazycrepe


1. Boytoy11: Great intensity, excellent composition/concept and awesome modeling! You have a hot body and you definitely used it in this round. Frolicking in the rain is another summer fantasy, and you sold it well in your photo. Makes me want to go out and play in the rain. You're currently number two on my list. Now step it up and reach for the top spot. Keep it up! I know you always do. Ha ha ha. Kidding Alex.

2. carlosantino: the heat is on... but its like raining. though i can't admit that this photo is nice..its just that, out of theme.. nice body angle.. nice pose. MISSED!

3. Ellis: ito ang taong parang sarap na sarap maligo matapos ang mainit na araw. Ang masasabi ko lang, iwasan ang masyadong bulgar na larawan.

4. Evian_Yohann: You looked completely different here in a good way which is a plus for you because models shouldn’t have a monotonous look. Great photo, keep it up!

5. Juls2: Love: This picture looks like a professional pictorial. I love the fusion of a good concept and an equally good subject. This is a marriage destined to be one of the top picks.; Hate: None.; Suggestion: I just expect consistency but with variations. Keep it up.

6. lenin: Nicely shot. Nice body angles and it really wants you to take a dip n the water. You should have opened the eyes more, focused more intensely and this could have been a good well, taken shot.

7. mycomic:

8. nonsense: kay...this is one of my favorite shots...it seemed natural to you...very good..it's captivating....it's risky..it's gorgeous...and you know you can give it some more..

9. Rafe_143: i love love love this shot..what other way to describe the theme"the heat is on"...but a photo of washing a car..soaking wet..not to mention your squint eyed expression gives it a boost of sex appeal..but bot to sexy..iu love this shot..one of the strong ones in my book.

10. rotogold: I do not know. But you are sex personified. I like the way you projected. Your face is really oozing with sex appeal. Was that the way you are trying to project "heat"? If yes, you did not miss a single beat.

11. SayNO: summer rain shower???hmmm... you appearin not to have any underwear doesnt necessarily mean "hot". we've seen you so a lot less dressed than this, i'd wanna see you with more clothes on. i am a bit dissapointed becuase i think you are one of the models here that has actual potential.let's be more creative next time. this isn't at all high fashion.

12. toyan: whoa!! u blow it off!!!! u did it!! i dont know what to say.. congratulations! u used the water element in ur pic to wipe away the Heat of the summer... but... the hotness remained!!! damn.. i love the pic!! way to go!!

13. yoh_asakura: i like this, very hot! i see you here as a very hunky, matured guy trying to escape the summer heat. You've shown a different side of you in this photo, very natural and unedited.

14. zavier.angel: The model's hot as well as the photographic execution. Highly seductive but not pornogrpahic. Moderate skin baring and earth tones contrasting with white drops of water are excellent.

15. ZephyrInTheS: i love this photo. out of all the photos this week, this one sizzled the most. i love the look in your eyes, the position of your body. my only comment is that you need to be careful not to cross the line between modelling and pornography, and you almost did that with this photo.

1. Boytoy11: It's summer, for I don't see anything hot about this photo. Modelling-wise, you look bored. Your eyes didn't connect with the camera, and your body language says "I'm too lazy to swim, much less be summer-hot." The neon-green lifesaver you're lying on upstaged you in this photo. Your facial expression and posing could've been your saving grace, but it's a nil for me. For me, it's more like a guy-on-vacation shot than a fashion photograph. Sorry.

2. carlosantino: honestly, your legs looks really rough. also skipped the editing portion? your face is somewhat forced to take poses.. dull eyes.. and very unprofessional, being hurt at some point is very inevitable when you're a model, take the risk to have a strong photos. don't do such things like this again (putting flip flops to protect knees). SAFE!

3. Ellis: di ko alam kung naiinitan ka o bored ka sa photographer kasi ang mata mo parang sa sobrang pungay, parang inaantok ka o naiinip ka.

4. Evian_Yohann: A safe photo again! Are you solely relying on your god-given beautiful face? ‘Cause without a doubt, you are. Just a tip: study, study, study!!! Be effective!

5. Juls2: Love: You still look sexy even without shedding too much or shall we say too little skin.; Hate: I did not like the concept and you look bored.; Suggestion: You need to level up your game. You are already gifted with a beautiful face and you just need to use it wisely. Be bold and not too conservative. Think big!

6. lenin: You look as if you were hugging some green martian and it got squished. I don't understand what you were trying to say at all…just the fact that I DO NOT ENVY That green thing underneath you.

7. mycomic:

8. nonsense: your photo is somewhat similar to ceejhay's..I liked that you took risks..the angle of your body spelled a little femme to me..but I liked how you worked being a man in this shot..could you have been more risky....this could have been a stronger shot...

9. Rafe_143: you have the swim wear..you have the inflatable thingy...these stuff would have been enough to show the essence of the theme...but i think the delivery is poor...you got to work your whole body..i lost your legs here..... and there must be a distinct emotion on your face....the face is so important.

10. rotogold: Summer need not be sad. Why are you angry? Summer must be carefree. Nonchalance. Not serious. The background is outstanding. I like the overall concept, but you are holding back. Loosen up.

11. SayNO: you looked bored.and again. it looks like a photo your friend's took when you go to the nearest swimming pool. this competition is about pushing you guys to go beyond normal cam fone or digital camera photos, you are one of the kids who underperformed.

12. toyan: so-so pic.. not fierce ... not attractive... not ugly ,.. not disappointing but its not a pic worth remembering.. uhmmmm ur background actually is not ryt with the inflatable ur lyin at..

13. yoh_asakura: very safe photo again from you. the creativity is there but lacks the model feeling factor.

14. zavier.angel: You don't stay on top of a lifesaver which is not floating in the water. You cut your legs, too, in this photograph. No sexiness. No seductiveness. All sleepiness.

15. ZephyrInTheS: you need to open up your eyes a bit, otherwise you're gonna end up looking sad or bored like you did in this photo. the fingers of the hand you're resting your head on look awkwardly positioned as well. overall this photo really didn't do much for me.

1. Boytoy11: You drove this original idea from ANTM Cycle 9 and made it your own! I applaud your photographer for using that glare to highlight your face. It definitely added that extra "ommph" to your photo. Undoubtedly, you have a fierce facial expression even without the eye contact. But I still see so much potential in you. You've mastered "hot". Now it's time to show us "white-hot". You've shown us something that proves that you definitely deserve to be the front-runner in this competition. Now it's time to widen your distance from the competition. Congratulations! For me, this is the best of this bunch.

2. carlosantino: great photo! nice face value, just right body, nice shot! but one thing, ur smoke effect doesn't look like smoke at all. its like a humid because it can be seen over the place. LOVE IT!

3. Ellis: ito ang tipong naghihintay ng isang taong sasaklolo sa kanya sa pagkasira ng kanyang sasakyan. Maganda ang larawan, maganda ang expresyon ng mukha at mga mata. Wala na akong masasabi pa.

4. Evian_Yohann: You are believable, creative and consistent. You surpassed everyone’s expectation and outshined every entries of this round. First-rate! Kinda cant get over with the smoke though.lol

5. Juls2: Love: You are consistent in giving the impression of Classy and Elite. The intensity is heat wave from my point of view. I also love the styling especially the jeans. = ); Hate: I just did not appreciate the fog/smoke effect especially on your face because it hampered the potential greatness of the entire look.; Suggestion: Be consistent but I also want variations so that you will not appear monotonous.

6. lenin: Probably the best shot of the bunch. Something that could easily be mistaken for a REAL AD commercial in the magazine for some sports car. Nice body angle and your face caoptured the natural lighting. A very effort, that showed you actually have a potential to be a model.

7. mycomic:

8. nonsense: this photo of yours reminds me of the photoshoot in ANTM Cycle 9 when the girls were shot in a dessert with a burning car...I liked the angle of your body..and the look on your face is STUNNING...it's fierce..it's just so fierce...very high fashion..good job...keep up the fierceness!!

9. Rafe_143: love the photo..its saying something like "im going for a vacation and my car got busted"its like your waiting for someone to give you a ride..and the body and the rface work well...love it..its hot!

10. rotogold: You are really wonderful. I can feel the heat. The body really sizzles. Baring topless is safe but you've got a body to show. I would have wanted to see some perspiration but this is okay. Ruggedness is your theme and it compliments the sun's reflection on your face and body. You could have lessened the pout, but then, it looks good on you. Hope you become more daring in the succeeding rounds. You don't have to play safe. You've got what it takes to stand-out among the pack.

11. SayNO: to be honest am not really excited about this photo.but i can see that JR and his stylist tried to come up with a high fashion shoot. it's a good photo but it is not excellent. something is off. i do however feel that you have the best body out of all the contestant, and i love how long your legs look in photos. btw your right leg looks stiff and i almost can't see your face.

12. toyan: I'm speechless definitely the #1 for this round ..... and i love the snulight effect on his face! it added to the hotness of the shot

13. yoh_asakura: one thing that made your entry not-so real was the smoke / steam effect for a simple reason that it looked like a fog. However, you have clearly generated a well- expressed entry this round. I like the vents of your pants.

14. zavier.angel: Hot but not enough. The reflection of light distorted your face. It would have helped if you spread your legs a bif further apart.

15. ZephyrInTheS: very hot. you look hot and pissed off, and i like the look. my only comment though is that you seem to have the same intense expression in your eyes as you did in the audition photos you submitted. maybe you should vary your expression a bit.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Malificent



1. Boytoy11: You could do way better than this. Please try to bear in mind that this is a competition, and we are looking for a high-fashion photo…not something out of your vacation album. The only saving grace in this photo is your smile and eye-contact. Seems like you have a talent for posing and projecting, but still it's a bit pedestrian for me. The smile is very CoverGirl, and that is a good thing. You presented us with femme because that is your comfort zone. I challenge you to try to veer away from such photos. I see the potential in you, but I fervently pray that you will do something to surprise us next round.

2. carlosantino: you looked really skinny. not high fashioned. what's with the feet of some species there? this is not for a cover thing material. this is a snapshot. your hair is also disarranged. is that your style? SKINNY!

3. Ellis: ito ang kuha sa isang swimming party. Di ko gusto ang katawan mo rito, pero gusto ko ang ngiti mo. Charming siya para sa kin.

4. Evian_Yohann: I’m disappointed. Your audition pics were far better than this entry. It’s unflattering and ridiculous. Overjoyed in atrocious way

5. Juls2: Love: None.; Hate: Everything.; Suggestion: You are given an ample time to prepare but I assume that you did not exert any effort in this first round. I hope that you can stay for the next round so that you can redeem yourself.

6. lenin: Were you wearing a badly washed one piece yellow suit there? It sure looks like t hat. The outrageous color just heightened the absurdity of this pose. One washed up malnourished yellow tuna rising out of the water. Are you serious or not in this contest?

7. mycomic:

8. nonsense: you worked that pool girl!! you just slammed it...a little twitching of the booty...the 3/4 smile...you gotta be working it!!..good job

9. Rafe_143: oh my god you are soooooo skinny dear....very chic..the photo....uhhh i think its kinda of a pedestrian shot...but i like your smile here..its like a ray of sunshine

10. rotogold: Adhering to the theme is admirable. But you disappoint me in this photo. This is too casual. No effort was made to look like a model. Sorry.

11. SayNO: argg,.,.so dissapointed.i actually like your androgenous looks but in this photo you just look like a girl ina swimming excursion with her family.

12. toyan: I'm sorry... but i dont like the pic.. for me its just a plain pic taken during an outing.... not very model like...

13. yoh_asakura: i can clearly see that your entry for this round was just taken from your photo archives. please do exert effort next time.

14. zavier.angel: Your bony structure does not make you hot. Neither does the water in the pool evoke any heat. Your smile perhaps seduces but you did not decide if it is the smile of a man or a woman. Never create confusion in the audience's mind.

15. ZephyrInTheS: you know that you can do better than this. the look perhaps would be appropriate if you were trying to go for a commercial look, but even then i still think you should have been more expressive with your eyes. i can't get over the fact that it looks like you just got a pic from friendster and submitted it as your entry.

1. Boytoy11: Hoochie, and does not in any way convey the theme. What made you think that you can pass this pic and get away with it? It makes me think that you are not taking this competition seriously. Sorry, but for me this is the worst pic in this round.

2. carlosantino: what are you portraying? a healthy cowboy? this is only for a womens cover magazine..the cheap one.. not a high fashioned photo. HOPELESS!

3. Ellis: Ito ba ay kinuhanan nito lang o matagal na? Para itong profile pic sa totoo lang. Ang dating sa akin ay ikaw ay nang-aakit lang sa webcam at sa ilang segundo ay sasayaw ka na. Bawasan ng pagkabulgar sa litrato. Wala akong nakikitang effort rito.

4. Evian_Yohann: What’re you thinking? This was so amateurish! 3 words… disappointed, overconfident, intolerable

5. Juls2: Love: I love that you showed skin despite some baby fats which means you have the guts and confidence to back up your beautiful face.; Hate: It does not convey the theme of the week. It appears to be a g4m profile pic.; Suggestion: I did not see effort from you. Your face will not save you at all times.

6. lenin: You are obviously the type who capitalizes so much on your looks. Yeah cute face, but the come –on eat me look doesn't work for me. Too much sexiness is not always good. Unless you wanna audition to be PLAYGIRL's whore of the year.

7. mycomic:

8. nonsense: uhmmm....what can I say?...it seemed like with this shot you just got out of bed and took a snapshot of yourself...this photo didnt translate to me at ALL...I'm sorry but this didn't quite make the cut for me...no offense though...I judge you from the photos you submit..=)

9. Rafe_143: i dont like the shot...hehehe sorry..poor quality ng cam..and its like a live show...no offense

10. rotogold: Sexy. Comfortable. But hot? You've got this standard look in your face that does not seem to change. From the audition picture, I have not seen a transformation. Why don't you exert an extra effort to be NOT yourself? But then, you have a well defined body. Ah yes, now you are flirting with us. I take back my word. You can SLOWLY change and takes what it got to stay in the running.

11. SayNO: webcam photo.not even entertaining.

12. toyan: uh,,, the heat? what about it?? more like a western influenced pic.. a country music wud match ur pic perfectly.. but cmon i think u wernt able to draw our the spirit of the theme.. but still goodluck

13. yoh_asakura: this is not a cam-whoring competition. prove to us that you are a worthy model to be looked at.

14. zavier.angel: A pornstar pic? Brokeback Mountain remake? I have seen pictures like this one a thousand times and repeating it for the competition did not do you any good.

15. ZephyrInTheS: i don't see a model. i see someone posing for a webcam shot. it might have worked if you connected with the audience with your eyes more, or if you didn't give off a smirk, but still. you need to do way better than this if you want to make it in this competition.

Onyn iS heRe



1. Boytoy11: Where's the summer heat in this photo? Great eye contact, good posing…but you lost me on the theme. I just don't feel anything summer-y about this photo. You have so much potential, you just need to weave and work the topic into your succeeding photos. Next time, try to adhere to the theme.

2. carlosantino: i cant feel the heat! you're like a bond paper painted by a kindergarten to pass for his assignment. The hunk word in your arms doesn't work with the glittery, girly thing.. IRONY!

3. Ellis: maganda ang body paint sa katawan mo ngunit di ako maunawaan kung ano ang gusto mong iparating dito sa larawang ito. Di ko alam kung naiinitan ka o hindi.

4. Evian_Yohann: are you aware of the theme? You looked like a futuristic creature. Your theme is nowhere to be found. The photo would fit if theme is, “Chill is on!”

5. Juls2: Love: I love the entirety of the facial expression with emphasis on the eyes. ; Hate: I just expect a whole body picture to convey the theme for the week. ; Suggestion: You have the “it” factor when it comes to projection but I need to see the theme in full.

6. lenin: Do you really have to paint that word HUNK in there? This actually makes the pic LESS HUNKY. It achieved the opposite for me. Sorry

7. mycomic:

8. nonsense: I love...love...love this shot!!!...i like the details you put into this shot because as it shows, it worked best for you....the contacts are gorgeous...it looked natural on you...almost flawless...almost..you really have to make sure that you won't overdo it....there's just something lacking..im not sure if it's the expression of your eyes or something...right now...it's powerful...but you've got what it takes to make it fierce...

9. Rafe_143: its a good close up shot..but i dont get the theme though??? i dont

10. rotogold: Surprisingly, I am ambiguous on this photo. Part of me is saying you are great, but another part of me is saying, where is the theme. The eyes, the eyes are really talking to us. You have to be very careful in choosing the appropriate entry, and honestly, I do not feel the summer in you.

11. SayNO: Onyn iS heRe and claydoh -- i like the photos. i knoew youre friends but seriously, try not to be "obvious". these are good photos but its doesnt interpret the week theme. this is not about just submitting a good photo each week, we have a theme READ it several times next time./ if you do not understand ask the oragnizers. this is not just about the both of you but goes out to all the models in this competition.

12. toyan: uh oh dear.. what about the theme? ur pic is ok... the effects and body paints are cool... but wers the theme?? i wanna see it...

13. yoh_asakura: just like claydoh's entry, body language is the game. you got a nice face for modelling but make sure to express everything with your body.

14. zavier.angel: "Hunk" is not just a word. It implies a human male body that is slim but sexy and muscular. Don't impress us with words; impress us instead with images.

15. ZephyrInTheS: i don't see the theme. this is more ocean cool than summer heat. good expression from your eyes though. the photo shows off your best facial features well.

1. Boytoy11: You look hot, but not summer hot. You guys were given ample time to prepare, and I guess you got too busy that you ended up passing this picture of you lying down on a carpet. Hope you make it this round and show us something better next time.

2. carlosantino: nice medium average body..the picture is not for a contest matters. its just like a typical photo that was intended for nothing. unprepared, the hair looks disarranged, your photograph is not well-suited to the theme,, PLAIN!

3. Ellis: buti naman at nakahabol ka. Isa ka sa mga model na gusto ko sapagkat may iba kang features na wala ang iba. Ngunit ang photo mo ay ordinary lang para sa akin. Di siya pagcoverboy at hindi pinag-isipang mabuti.

4. Evian_Yohann: im glad you were able to submit an entry because everyone hates quitters! systematize your time so that you could pass a much more flattering photo.

5. Juls2: Love: I love the facial expression, intensity of the eyes, and the body to die for. It is hotter than summer and yet it did not look raunchy.; Hate: I hate the background because it draws away the potentially high-fashion look that we are expecting.; Suggestion: Explore more and be bold in conceptualizing the photo shoot. You already proved from this entry that you can pose the pose and now I need you to see better execution.

6. lenin: Looks like you just got out of bed and decided you are so handsome the world needs to see you first thing in the morning. No effiort at all. And That's horrible considering this is supposed to be a contest.

7. mycomic:

8. nonsense: okay..I'm glad you were able to submit a photo for this round..kudos to you....nonetheless..I have to do my job as a judge...looking at your photo...it didn't quite translate to the theme..but you pulled it off...this shot made a statement...so good job...

9. Rafe_143: [no comment]

10. rotogold: For once I thought you will not continue. Good, you did not quit because I like what I see. You are raw. Just deeply raw. No inhibitions. No air. No nothing. You are a natural flirt. And the summer is picking up the heat in that photo. Very raw. I like it.

11. SayNO: sigh. underperformed like most.you can do so much better than these and you have the bone structure to actually do stuff like this. kudos for submitting a photo, but hey if youre submitting one might as well knock us off our feet. let's not rest on our laurels.

12. toyan: looked like somebody who just got out of the bed. i can't see any element of summer .... goodluck!

13. yoh_asakura: i commend you for last minute submission. im really disappointed to your performance as of this round. you have a nice body to be proud of and a face to attract many.

14. zavier.angel: You did not utilize your greatest asset – your facial features.

15. ZephyrInTheS: good body angle. i think you twisted your face a bit too much to the left, because your facial features are all scrunched up. you need to work on showing a stronger and more definite expression, because here you just look bored and sleepy

1. Boytoy11: I love the idea of cooling off in front of a fan to convey summer heat because the blades kinda acted like a reflector in this pic, but you failed to deliver a fierce facial expression. You have a hot body, but you did not weave it into your photo. It's not summer hot…it's just lukewarm. You must know how to use your assets in posing for a photograph. Recite "high fashion" like a mantra, and it will imbue its powers on you. Turn that fan up to its maximum setting and blow off the competition next time…for this round you are the one blown off. And not in a good way.

2. carlosantino: nothing to impressed me.. nothing new.. very safe.. WORTHLESS!

3. Ellis: sa unang tingin, gets mo na ang concept. Kailangan mo pang pag-aralan ang tamang angle mo, parehong sa katawan at mukha. Medyo nakukulangan ako sa ekspresyon ng iyong mga mata.

4. Evian_Yohann: if I am the model, the concept in your photo that you submitted will be the very least I will think of. I think you are very serious with this competition and I commend you for that however, the way you think a concept doesn’t make you qualified.

5. Juls2: Love: This is simplicity at its finest. You sometimes need a creative lighting and household background as props in order to create impact.; Hate: I just did not see enough expression. I can see that you intentionally showed some sweat but it looked as if it did not come from your sweat glands.; Suggestion: Make us believe in you.

6. lenin: Oiii! Alfalfa! Nice pic but boring.

7. mycomic:

8. nonsense: I like this shot..it's not the best..but you showed you can work with anything...should you have taken this shot further into a high fashion shot...this shot would be fabulous!

9. Rafe_143: well i get the theme in an instant cuz i too do the whole stay in front of tha fan thing cuz it really is hot nowadays..but your eyes seem kind of lost here..its important na your eyes are looking or focusing at something...its really a big thing

10. rotogold: The mystery deepens. I cannot feel the heat, but you are hot yourself. I am trying to decipher your emotions. There is nothing. You are just posing. But overall, model-wise, you are safe.

11. SayNO: this remind me of carlos santana's video 'smooth. you actually in my opinion has a photo that can easily be related to the theme. you could work with studying the angles of your face and what works with you more. be more expressive, the expression in your face is borderline bland.

12. toyan: be thankful of ur hot body... ur pic lacks enhancements.... but.. atleast u sticked with the theme... so still.. an ok job!

13. yoh_asakura: think outside the box. dont expresss the theme literally. i still belive that you could do more brighter concept than this. still, the model factor is in you.

14. zavier.angel: The electric fan is not ventilating any heat. Your eyes are cold as ice. The photographer should have moved a few steps backward to create a semblance of hotness.

15. ZephyrInTheS: good body angle. i don't feel anything intense from your facial expression. your eyes seem dead. i don't really feel the heat though. it's just an ok photo.
