You asked for it.  Trying to prove you can do slutty too.  Only a few changes and it might have not been such a mistake to show.  Get one of those feet off the ground to create a better line.   And if we saw the other hand it might help too.  It has no place being in your portfolio, so get rid of it before every GWC get's all bent out of shape.

I love that pic smile!

Really?  Do I even have to say why this blows chunks.  Ow, my neck hurts.  Please take the picture and put me out of my misery.  What about our misery, did you have to show us too.   Another ugly armpit too.  Everyone seems to forget about that.  And cropping at the elbow - that's photography 101 again.

Yucky.  Lacks contrast, hand on head is forced and not pretty - way to stiff.  If you ever post a photo this bad again I will send the photographer police to take your camera away.

You call it snapshot yourself.  Of course you laughing call it good.  Rule number 2 of photography - no poles or strong horizontal lines going through heads.   So you do both.  Two wrongs don't make a right, the make a photo you need to delete.

You want to do a nun with cross.  Be lucky you haven't been struck down.  If you are going attempt a shot like this we need something different and not what anybody who had a cellphone could do.   Add some drama with real lighting.  And the gimmicky eye, really.  Why not add a halo and a tear too.  You heard of the seven signs of the Apocalypse - this is sign two and three.  Don't tempt fate.

Do we really need to watch you take a dump in the corner?   Maybe you were trying to make a political comment on the poor living conditions so many people are forced to live in due to the economy.  All I can say is epic fail.  Look at that and ask yourself  "What was I thinking?"  Awkward poses can be great, but I think you know what needs to be done.  DELETE IT!

This is one of the trendy looks that needs to go away.  Anybody can stick some pantyhose over the lens to hide poor photography with and effect.  Even better just blur it in Photoshop, drop the contrast, and throw color layer over it to tone it.  No one will every notice had bad it is.  You know if the photo sucks, hide it in with Photoshop.  Of course we could always talk about the framing and crop.  Wasted frame over the head, and she is centered because you afraid to move the camera.   Here's and idea.  Take your camera and put it on rapid fire and run past your model.  Your bound to come up with something better than this.  I gave you an extra special review since you're too far away to shoot me.

much less severe than what I was expecting *phew*
this shot is a selfportrait, hence why I'm not skilled enough or have enough room to do more than centred framing.  I put it out of focus on purpose, it wasn't blurred or had an effect over the lense.  But it was a luck shot, so i decided to keep it. not my best but for whatever strange reason, I kinda like it.

Another annoying trend.  No idea how to pose the model, so have her stand there like she is in a daze.  Shows anybody can be model.  Can you stand-up, you're a model.  And I will make you famous because I am a photographer.  See my portfolio - you don't even have to show your boobies  *wink wink*.

This one says it all.  I am a talented model who can do several things at once, smoke, drink coffee, put on make-up, listen to the radio.  Did I mention I opened the mascara bottle with one hand!   And I won't even set my hair on fire with the cigarette when I take another drink of my coffee.  You can't tell but I am texting with me feet too.

Look at how you can push the limits with this one and make it so in our face.  Sure we know you always stand on your tip toes when you touch yourself.  With practice I sure you can do this on one foot, then imagine what great art it would be.  we know you just want us to know you can go there if needed to make the photo.  We know now, don't go back.

Oh look you found some beads.  "I'll put them on my head and over my face."   That was such an amazing idea, I haven't seen that since my 9 year old decided to play model.  Could be worse, you could have posted it more than once.  And no, biting or licking or sucking the beads isn't any better.

Let me guess, you told her to smell her armpit.  Or maybe you were going for a creepy feel with the claw hand coming out of the darkness to grab her hair?    The good news is the back of her hand is so big and flat, we don't even see the rest of the mess.  Maybe some cropping will help.   Somewhere in this photo there must be 1 or  2 good pixels, but I don't have time to look for it.

Oh look you found a ladder and thought. "I'll just squash my model up under it".  Yeah that will be creative.  And of course you found a new Photoshop edge effect to use.  Now we have art for sure.  Notify the galleries, they will want to know when you are coming so they can lock the doors.  Please hide this from view.

Let me guess, you thought you remembered this pose.  Well you missed it.  Your legs are awkward and forced.  Please do everyone a favor and hide this quickly.  And then maybe we will be able enjoy your portfolio.

Wow - body paint - sexy.  Let me guess, you thought you could make it really sexy by having her suck on something, but not to be too obvious you'll use a water bottle.  Yeah that was an idea.  Next time you get an idea, just ask yourself, "What would a GWC do?"  then do the opposite.

Honest critique - who said I would be honest.  I said heartless.  And this photo is why.  Stiff and awkward.  So turn your head but don't move the body at all. Look at the real world and see that the shoulders follow the head, even if just slightly.  And of course another photo cropped at the elbow.  Sure you didn't do it, but you did choose to show it.  And lead with your nose not your eyes so we don't have to blinded by all the white.  I could go on, but I'm getting writer's cramp.

So you want to look short and dumpy?  You're 5'2" and you pose to make yourself look shorter.  And looks this pose compared to the one in the red skirt.  You look 20 pounds heavier in this.  Real models don't want to look shorter or fatter, you achieved both in this photo.  Maybe you can show other models this pose as a way not to pose.

So you did you think the orange tone was cool or something.  That seems to be the only reason to force us to see this photo. We've seen the hair in better photos, we've seen your face in better photos.  There is nothing new or good in this photo.  So please, just delete this before it's too late.
