#auscycle7week8

This never should have been in the bottom 2, it is one of the most interesting photos this week. Izzy’s body looks great, and I adore the interaction between her and male model. It is cute, a bit fun, and has a vibe none of the other shots really captured. Her  face also looks gorgeous from this angle, her jawline is stunning. This is easily Izzy’s best photograph since her Parisian Chateau shot.

After a few bad weeks, we are back a full selection of great shots. Despite that, we have another week where Rachel deserved to be eliminated. Rachel does look beautiful here, I love the more candid body language. Her body does look good, but compared to everyone else this week, it isn’t exactly anything special. The entire thing still feels underwhelming beside the other photos from this week.

There were so many strong photos this week but Montana totally blew them all out of the water. This photo is so high fashion without a stitch of clothing present. Her pose is flawless, I adore the slight hunch of her shoulders and the rest of her slumped body language. Her face is just heavenly; the look in her eyes is so soft and vulnerable yet so powerful and fierce all at the same time. Alex Perry’s comment about this being a stolen moment is dead on, this is really something special. Montana was just transcendent in this photoshoot and this shot is one of the best of the cycle!

Hazel just keeps pulling unexpected tricks out of her hat. I had no idea she was capable of bringing this mood to a photo due to how sweet and innocent she was in person. Her eyes are simply burning so seductively and her amazing bone structure has never looked better. The way she laid out is fabulous, she flaunted her curves perfectly, and I love how she placed her hand so lightly on her chest. Hazel turned in yet another stellar photo! 

Izzy was one of the most creative girls this week. Her body looks fantastic and I am living for the extended leg and arched foot. I love her seductive expression and her jawline and cheekbones are so beautiful in profile. She has a great connection with the male model as well. I still have no idea why this landed Izzy in the bottom 2, it’s one of my personal favorite shots in her portfolio.

Liz did an amazing job on set and I kind of wish a different final shot was chosen, but I still really like this one. The energy she has is so exuberant and joyful, it’s just infectious. I’m blown away by how gorgeous she looks even with her head thrown back in laughter, an angle and emotion combination that would be un-photogenic on just about anyone. Her body is totally slammin’ too! It’s a strong addition to Liz’s portfolio.

Simone clearly has a ton of body confidence and it shows in this picture. She looks so carefree and comfortable with herself, and the pose works perfectly with her killer body. Her bone structure looks more defined than it typically does and I like her flirty expression. However, she flicked her eyes much too far to side, causing her to appear as though she has no irises/pupils. If Simone had turned her eyes more towards the camera she might have jumped from my bottom 3 to my top 3 this week.

It was a tough call between Madeline and Rachel for the bottom spot, but the former gained the upper hand with what she did with her body. Madeline’s pose is excellent, it accentuates her curves beautifully and I like the way she threw her arms over her head. Sadly, she didn’t match the strength of her pose with her face. The mischievous look in her eyes is really cute, but she tilted her chin way too far downward causing her to lose her neck entirely and it also makes her smirk a little unflattering. I was okay with Madeline’s elimination. She plummeted after her stellar start, and even though she had been trending upward the past couple weeks she wasn’t keeping pace with a majority of the other girls.
