1. Ellis: Sa tingin ko comedy ang movie mo. Kung tunay yan na pito kayong magkakapatid, panigurado masaya yan. Hehehe! Balik tayo sa picture, para sa akin maganda ang nais mong ipahatid sa picture mo at maganda ang konsepto ngunit, mas maganda kung nag-focus ka lang sa isang look kasi may mga pics ka dito na okay, ang iba ay hindi, gaya ng pink dress.

2. Evian_Yohann: out of all d entries, you're the one who did alot of effort to your photo. I just dont know if its worth it. You took alot of risks, but im not sure about it. Your only saving grace is you effort and past photos

3. Juls2: I believe that the consensus of the judges is that we want to get rid of the femme theme but you still found a way to inject it. The good thing is that you presented 7 pictures where the majority, masculine look, swept me away. I applaud the effort in presenting different characters and you again used your ASSET in this crucial round. You presented your dangerous, geeky, and sexy side in this picture.

4. lenin: Probably a bit on the porn side? Except for that slim-rod body of yours, I canot find anything comprehensible in this photoshoot. I am quite at a loss here at what you are trying to portray or show. You blundered at such a very criticial stage of this competition and I am afraid this will cost you an arm. YOu have r eached this far and sadly, you were probably too complacent and thought just because it shows more skin its gonna get a nod? Less is more sometimes you know. If you get my drift.

5. rotogold: I am not familiar with the Hilton Siblings. You have shown the whole gamut of expressions befitting a model. The risque impression is certainly the strongest point of this photo! But of course, you tempered it with the different personalities of you and the characters behind them. And conceptually, that is really Most admirable. Naughty, sporty, stern, fickle, casual, elegant, bare and bold. You have chosen the NUDE you to become the focal point of the photo, and that is the biggest selling item of your entry. To me, you dared and you dared well !

6. toyan: you should have chosen something more familiar.. having the movie the american pie.. and fil-am pie.. ofcors.. american pie will flourish.. im sorry to say but dis shot is retarded

7. yoh_asakura: Wow! Are those all of you? A vast of passion is all I can see! You truly want to demonstrate your multiplicity and litheness as a model. You give worthiness to the word "TWIST" for this round, the concept is clear and you depict all the main characters for this movie genre. Congratulations! Final Judgment: Definitely, many will run NAKED MILE for you!

8. zavier.angel: Overdone. One can see the effort in coming up with seven shots (multiplied by at least 10 clicks each becomes seventy shots) from which the model can choose. That in itself involves one hell of a job. But this could be the reason why the photos were not properly composed to achieve visual seduction. The model should have hired a visual design professional to handle his entry for this round; as it is, the excellent modeling was devoured by the sheer lack of design craftsmanship.

9. ZephyrInTheS: I think it was very bold of you to do multiple poses in one photo, but you kinda spread yourself out too thin. Some of your looks look too similar. It would have been better if each look was clearly distinguished from the other looks.

1. Ellis: Isang rock star! Napaisip ako kung rakista ka talaga. Parang gusto kong manood ng gig mo. Hehehe! Sa picture, para sa akin mas maganda ito bilang isang CD album cover. Maganda ang iyong kasuotan at nababagay ito sa iyo, pati ang make-up na mala-gothic ang dating. Maganda ang pose mo, maganda rin ang pagpili ng background.

2. Evian_Yohann: You know, when Kate Moss is modelling, she avoids sitting, kneeling and doing poses which can make her extra small. Your challenge is to come up with poses that can make you look tall even if you are short. Look what you did in your paparazzi shoot?

3. Juls2: Your movie concept really needs a lot of text on the side because I cannot understand it without the description. You look like floating in mid air, hair and lipstick makes you feminine, and your stance makes you look like a midget. I did not feel the vibe of a rock star except from the TITLE. This picture is more of a Pebble Star for me. I just hope you will be able to surpass this round and prove me wrong.

4. lenin: You look Like little Sid Vicious (of the legendary punk group Sex Pistols if you must know) in his younger days here. Goes well with your angsty pick for a movie genre. Much effort was obviously tried and you steered away from simply copying verbatim a movie poster and infused some originality. It looks clean and at the same time quite edgy. My pick for this round simply because you did not quite overdid things which was quite a far cry from what you used to do. A vast improvement.

5. rotogold: A banner entry of a rock star. That's what you are here, Claydoh. For the first time, I have not seen Claydoh, the model. Your attire – I may not be a rock star fanatic but you definitely seemed like one. This photo shows the other side of you. Honestly, I liked the total concept. I like the brick background. I liked the description you have put on the photo. I liked the simplicity. Most of all, I liked the hair. You are NOT definitely Claydoh for all its intent. Though lacking in the mania portrayal, I feel the Rockstar in you and you have totally immersed yourself into the role.

6. toyan: well the shot is.. good... but uve got too much caption in it... u should have minimized the captions.. and focused on the shot.. is this the movie being lead by mark wahlbherg? well, u did well.. it's just that the captions made ur shot too dragging..

7. yoh_asakura: I don't see and I cannot feel the rockstar that you want to reveal. Definitely, you are out of tune for the reason that the dynamics is missing. You look like more of a garbage collector in your clothing and it gives the impression of being awful because of the monochromatic theme although the details are satisfactorily crafted but still it doesn't make you a celebrity. The choice of background adds up to the less star quality in the making. Sitting makes you uninteresting though your pose and expression are good but it would have been better to project on a standing position to maximize your modeling potentials. Lastly, I like the hair and you may have my vote! Final Judgment: Yes you are a ROCK but the STAR is out!

8. zavier.angel: Rock star? The symmetrical balance between the heavy text on the right and the dominantly blue attire of the model on the left does not make the poster/picture that of a rock star at all. Symmetry and balance are for classical pieces, not for rock music materials. Rock and roll, in the first place, evolved as a rebellion from the classical. The misrecognition of this historical fact turned an evidently worked at piece of art into a failure.

9. ZephyrInTheS: I like the photo, even if the text is a bit distracting. You seem a bit too laid back though, given the edginess of the theme. It would have been nicer too if you had a more complex body angle.

1. Ellis: Ito ay mukhang indiefilm / action movie. Matanong ko lang, nagpakalbo ka ba para sa shoot? Hehehehe! Mas bagay sa iyo ang kalbo para sa akin. Napaisip ako na sana magkaroon ng make-over ang GLMS sa mga susunod na Cycle! Hehehe! Sa litrato mo, maganda sana, ngunit sa facial expression mo, kulang pa rin sa emosyon ang mata.

2. Evian_Yohann: round 3 virign suicides - sitting, round 4 paparazzi - sitting, round 5 wow philippines - sitting, round 6 movie mania - sitting again eh!? that was so "comfort zone" of yours. You got the perfect production, fabulous photographer but then, you gave us a mediocre performance? You should learn how to experiment not to just rely on sitting as a fashionable pose. If you are still IN next round, AVOID SITTING! obtw, you looked like the victim in this photo not a villain.

3. Juls2: Your pictures are getting better but I sometimes doubt if you are really in tune with the concept. You chose an unfamiliar movie and I cannot understand why there is focus on the table. You seemed like a better version of CLAYDOH where in I needed the text description of the movie to fully understand the picture. If I where you I would name this as ANAK NI BABY AMA. = )

4. lenin: Alright the theme was movie genre right? BUT its also a search for best model. With Clothes or not. This got lost in this [particular poster. The movie theme was there, but where's the fashion side of it? Your over all pic faded with the background and your deadpan expession did nothign to lift you out of this particular muck.

5. rotogold: A victim. First, I liked the faint portrayal. It is the complete opposite of the violence of the movie you are supposed to show us. I liked the dominant foreground because it tells the whole story. But YOU got lost. I did not see nor feel the survivor instinct. You have to get into the fears facing a whole arsenal of explosives. Or was it that you have given up all hope for survival? I am careful here because, despite the strong thematic concept, you are not projecting correctly. You have just given up.

6. toyan: well uve made a good impersonation of Samuel L Jackson!!! this is a good shot! congrats!!

7. yoh_asakura: What happened to you kid? Just like Claydoh, you are sitting. Sitting makes you uninteresting though your pose and expression are good but it would have been better to project on a standing position to maximize your modeling potentials. At first glance, your entry in actual fact looks as a teaser poster of an action-suspense genre. But after some analysis, it's obvious that the production didn't work out well. It's too clean and too scripted. The objects on the table don't look materials to make a bomb and how will you make a bomb if you are hand-cuffed while sitting? Give justice to the criminal! Clean set-up is forgivable if your subject is working in a space-age nuclear laboratory. Your facial expression is too odd for the set-up; you seem to be lonely and wondering why you are alone and not ferociously portraying to be a dreaded psychotic bomber. In fairness, the porn model is still in you. Final Judgment: ReBOURNE your IDENTITY!

8. zavier.angel: The concept seems incomplete. "This man has planted three nuclear bombs in your country," the blurb says. But why is the man in the picture hogtied like Baby Ama being prepared for the electric chair? There were too many things on the table which did not help the audience/reader recognize immediately what these are there for. If the guy in the picture is the man who planted "three nuclear bombs", where is the fierceness in his looks? This poster/picture raises more questions than answers – which means the unifiying theme is still raw. But the model tried to rise above the technical limitations and emerge triumphant.

9. ZephyrInTheS: Hmmm... I'm kinda torn over this photo. Half of me likes the edginess of the theme, but the other half of me thinks that your modelling in this photo was a bit too simple. I think overall I'm just looking for a bit more intensity.

1. Ellis: Suspense-horror naman ito! Matanong ko lang, nung ginawa mo ito at tumingin ka sa salamin, di ka ba natatakot? Kasi nakakatakot ang itsura mo ngayon. Pero in a good way naman! Hehehehehe! Sa iyong litrato, para sa akin, ito ang pinakamaganda. At last, nagkaroon ng buhay ang mga mata mo, na lagi kong inirereklamo sa iyo. Ang pagkakangalit ng iyong panga ay nagpadagdag ng tensyon sa iyong litrato. Sa mga linggong nagdaan, masasabi ko talaga na ikaw ang may pinakamalaking pinagbago. Good job!

2. Evian_Yohann: This round is yours, there's no doubt about it! I love the clothes, the editing portion, the look and everything! Just dont understand your face, i am indifferent. but, its ok...its tolerable.

3. Juls2: Is this really you? I was looking back and forth with your other pictures to see its resemblance to the real you. I can’t see the model in here but a picture of Johnny Dep w/ minor alterations/ enhancement. The concept devoured the model in you but for me this is still your best performance yet.

4. lenin: id put your picture alongside Claydoh's in this round. Well thought and the dramatic effect of black and white, with a slash of angry red is just too strong BUT your fierce demeanor here Fortunatley did not get lost with such a strong theme. I have only one comment though, that you lifted this out of the movie poster almost entirely. A lil mix with somethign your own would probably have made this picture awesome, but you were perhaps too safe here. Johnny Depp will be proud though if he sees this. At least in this part, you succeeded in looking a lot like him.

5. rotogold: You continue to amaze me. You, with your subtle look at the audience, have bestowed fear amongst who will carelessly cross your stare. You are showing inner strength, that is ready to explode in a bombastic and bloody manner, but with the cool gesture of a refined and enraged killer. I like the colors. Black, red and white. All symbols of an impeding violence to commence. Very measured and very potent.I have a feeling that you will pass this round.

6. toyan: all i can say is.. WOW! dis s ur best shot so far!! i never tought it was u!!! it looks real! effortless! perfect... Johnny Depp wud be proud of u

7. yoh_asakura: Is that really you!?! Awesome! Did Ms. Cecille Baun help you with this? Kidding aside but this entry is the most realistic. But you didn't excel for this portrayal. There is inadequate amount of energy in your face and you didn't execute well for the blocking of the razor that you are holding as compared to what Johnny Depp did for this pose in the original movie poster. Now, see the difference? I'm not saying to actually laser copy it but you should have done better or created a twist for this entry. And what does the big water container doing behind? Nice clothes as alternatives. Final Judgment: You're PIRATED of the CARIBBEAN!

8. zavier.angel: Done with impeccable taste. The contrasting black and white colors accentuated with appropriate red made the photograph – or movie poster – classy. It looks hollywoodish but it is in itself expensively unique.

9. ZephyrInTheS: Love it! You really shined in this round. You've really come into your own the past few shoots. My only comment is that maybe there could have been a little bit more intensity in your eyes. Other than that this is a great shot.
