Can some official authenticate this for us?

This link doesn't work.

P.S.: I just checked out 1 of the photo links on the other one and it takes me to a photo, pretty small in size, is this even for real? I mean the photoshoot for the contest? [I was hoping hi resol. raws and it leaves me wondering me why would anybody post this here on MM]

Howdy people,
I had been contacted by Aley a couple of days ago with a direct request for the above. I corresponded with her and told her I would do an image for her. I was surprised by the low res versions as well. Tried to explain to her the difference. Since I had told her I would, I reworked one image.


She was very appreciative and effusive in her praise and asked for more. Finally got her to email me a higher res jpg file. She sent several in fact. Approx 2.5k x 4k pixels. Unfortunately, she was rather small in the image I needed to choose for my background and there was a good bit of noise particularly when I tried to work with it. She may have better versions of other images. Stay away from any with heavier darkness.

As to whether or not she's legit, frankly I believe she is. http://www.missearth.com.au/index.php?categoryid=11
If you look at the qualifying steps for a candidate, its surprisingly straightforward to become one. She seems very serious about mounting a campaign for victory.
She is a stunningly beautiful girl with some great looks and I would have done more for her if the images had been better quality.
Since the images will be posted here, we can see what others have done which will help people decide which one to do if they help her.
Oh yeah, the image in her Miss Earth poster was done by one of our fellow MMers.
