An updated version of the best-worst game!

Post here if you want to play.

If the number of pictures that I LIKE in your port is bigger than the number of images I dislike, then I'll tell you what your WORST image is in my opinion.

If the number of pictures that I DISLIKE is bigger than the number of images I like, then I'll tell you what your BEST is in my opinion.

Please do the same for me - I'm currently choosing images I want to print as a memory. Thanks!

I love every photo in your port! You're amazing, I've followed your work for a while, and it's a shame to see your retiring sad. But I know you're onto much better things! For the photo I least like in your port, I'd have to say the 1st one in the last row (second page). It just doesn't catch the eye like the rest, and you have much better photos with a similar pose.

Thank you Rachael, you're too kind smile. As for you... It's a tie between

and
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/120606/15/4fcfd3ef23573_m.jpg
for your worst shots.

I know you receive a lot of good feedback on the first one, but to me the angle of it isn't the most flattering, as are your hands in this shot. Your look is much stronger than this shot would have you believe. In the second one, the cheesy and conflicting styling is bothering me. Doesn't show you off either and it doesn't look committed. Overall I think you're on the right track with your modeling and your black-latex-baldcap shots are so impressing, my favs!

You have a wonderful collection of photos, therefore I like more than I dislike so having to find the worst I'd have to choose this one: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30103496 18+
The pose is awkward and leaves me feeling awkward. tongue

Your port is pretty awesome. The only one I didn't love was the last photo in the 4th row. I picked it because it doesn't really do anything for you.

I like a lot of your pictures!

Best: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29559669 (18+)
I think the expression is perfect, the pose is great, and the black and white turn out was excellent.

Worst: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30103496 (18+)
I didn't make the connection of how the wardrobe, pose, and location connected together.

I know this is very popular, but it's my least favorite of yours:

Tough one. You probably have hundreds of pics to work with but you are a very good editor and have picked only the best.

Probably least favorite is this

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30103496

and least favorite is not to say that it is not a good picture and would be the best picture of many other model's ports.

I like the potential I see in you and of course your soft warm shape, so I'm going to pick my least favorite which is this one:

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/120919/21/505a9d74c8d7f_m.jpg

A lot less impressive than the other ones in the series. Remember to only show your best and repetition of the same gets boring fast.

You're good! At this point I don't see anything that really HAS to go, but when you get better fashion shots back, I would replace the series with the graffiti. Fashion and posing is great, light and background looks amateur.

Just because I hate it when male pictures look too contrived, aware or posed. This one is a natural environment with natural bodylanguage and light/setting are great. You look great in it as well.

I'm in love with your figure work - posing is really solid lady!

This one I liked least: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 4#28762284 (18+) I think the styling makes it look cheap, and you're better than this.

I'm seeking a bit of a critique at the moment too, so I'd love to play.

It's hard to pick a bad image in your portfolio - there's a lot in there that inspires me.
If I HAD to pick something, I'd say third row - last image on the right https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30022198

You've got a lot of head shots that I find much more engaging, though I could see why you'd put something a bit darker in the mix.

You're one of my favourites on here, really awesome work you produce.

Your worst in my opinion:

Because we've seen the ice-princess before, the execution has to really be top mark - and in my opinion it could have been better. Also the picture of Angela Preston is a bit of a bore. If you have such awesome work otherwise, you can't get away with much.

Argh, that background is killing me. A shame because the dress and attitude are great. Just looks a bit amateurish (light, setting) and doesn't flow with the rest of your stuff.

I respect your technical skills and dedication, I'm just really not a fan of pictures that look too contrived.

This is still my favorite, because it flows nice and doesn't feel too 'posed', like a moment captured:

Honestly I don't think you have a good professional shot or one that represents your look well yet. You need to gain experience and get that shot first.

I don't see anything that HAS to go in yours, although this one is not essential in your port:
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/110829/12/4e5bee39bc24a_m.jpg
Landscape oriented, not really an eye-catcher, you have ones with similar feel done better already. It's a filler shot imo.

Would have loved a shot of yours in my port smile.

Your worst: I think I know where you were going with this one, but it didn't reach destination:

not fashionable, not a great visual impact either. Odd in a bad way.

Great portfolio, I like just about everything.  This one just doesn't fit with the rest of the images. Plus I feel that it is your weakest image.
