#pntmc6week5

Finally, Daria gets a FCO out of me and richly deserved on that part! I adore how fashionably tired Daria looks from the kids being a wreck and with the timing of the flour all over the place, this is the perfect shot for Daria to look so boredly expensive. I love how relaxed the pose is, finally after 3 weeks of stiff and tense poses, Daria finally relaxed and went for more mellowed out. I adore the delicate placement of her hands holding the jacket and the other one covering herself away, it looks like she can’t even both with the kids and I live for it! Her face is finally relaxed as well. The eyes are so expensive and I love how bitchy yet relaxed she looks here. It works well with the theme and with the styling, she really embodied a rich bitch. Daria finally got the FCO she deserves and a place to the top. 

This may be another really unpopular (like the past 2 weeks) but I really love this shot, I find it really cute! Obviously, there are a lot better shots that don’t match the commercial vibe (ie: Daria and Kamila) but Mateusz M excelled with the commercial aspect of the shoot. He just looks stare-up adorable! He had the most trouble with the kids considering how many there were but Mateusz still did pretty damn well. His cheerful expression isn’t overdone like some of the others. His chicken legs are pretty funny but I really love his connection to the kids and the joy in his face makes the whole shot feel natural to me. I know some people have a problem with how staged this shot feels, but personally to me, this is one of the most natural feeling shots out of the bunch, mostly due to Mateusz M’s chilled out pose and amazing attitude shining through the lens. It’s a very underrated shot in my opinion!

What’s this, Kamila in my top 3? Finally, she’s tapping into her potential and I couldn’t be any happier! My only gripe with the shot is how awkward her arms look (one looks very skeletal) but the rest of the shot is fantastic. Even with the awkward looking hands, I love the movement of it, especially the one with the fondant stick (I think?) above her head and the other one gently sticking themselves into the chocolate fountain. Her face is just magical as well! I’m obsessed with the tilt of her head up to the air and the gentle expression on her face, those eyes are just magical. Kamila finally reached her potential after 4 weeks of disappointment.

The only thing I hate about this shot is the missing hand on her waist and how her chin blends into her neck. Otherwise, I never got why the judges hated this shot of Natalia so much. I really like the big sister vibes of this shot, it’s so sassy and cute. I love how Natalia looks like a know-it-all geek judging you from the lens, it has so much attitude and the smirk is adorable. I also really like how the pose fits the face, it’s snarky and snappy! The sas of the hip thrust and the lift of her leg adds to the cutesy theme to the shot. I also love the hand showing off the ice cream cone. Natalia does look short here but it’s ignorable. The hate she got for this shot was unnecessary and annoying, it’s one of her personal best shots so far (and starts the ride of Natalia being underrated by the judges).

My top 5 all did pretty stellar and I’m happy to see Patryk start to improve more and more, ignoring the judges’ praises for him week by week. I can finally see the praise the judges have been swooning Patryk the entire time with. My only main gripe with the shot is that his eyes look too squinty. I know that’s a main problem with a lot of people with him but I have been only able to see it for the past 2 weeks now. His eyes are squinted way too hard but the rest of the face is pretty damn good. As always, his bone structure rocks and I like the smug confidence in his face, for once, there’s some actual emotion in his face. Also, the action of the cutting turkey is nicely done. It doesn’t feel awkward despite the angle and he made the suit look good. I don’t get why it’s mainly a beauty shot since everyone else had to deal with full body shots (favouritism) but hey, at least Patryk did good.

Like Mateusz M, I don’t see the hate for this shot. It doesn’t mean that it’s good like Mateusz M but it was definitely underrated by the judges and rankers throughout. Now, obviously, it’s not at the same level as my top 5 but it’s still a fine shot (I also have my friend Jason holding me at gun point right now if I don’t put him in the top 6 at least). My biggest problem with the shot is how short he looks and even though he’s in the foreground, the kid in the back totally takes over the show (also he was such a great worker with the set, love the kid!). However, I really like the laid back pose, the lift of the leg is nice and despite not connecting with the kid (another issue for me), the whole body language reads off as confident and rich bored. His face, as always, looks good (ignoring last week). I like the smug bored expression on her face and his features look great. Mateusz Z’s elimination seemed very out there. The judges seem to love him so him being gone so soon was iffy to me, I liked him a lot but he really did go downhill after a stellar start.

I love how they decided to use the shot where Daniel was carrying groceries and it ended up ripping, it adds a funny comedy element to the shot. Besides the funny outtake being used as an actual shot, it’s a very boring shot compared to the rest. Daniel was supposed to be walking with the kids while looking hot so while he succeeded in looking hot, the rest of the shot is just really boring. If I can phrase it best, it’s just Daniel being Daniel. He looks great, her jawline can cut bitches, and he looks tall. I also don’t dig the angle that this shot was taken in. And… that’s it really. It’s a very boring shot and forgettable. It doesn’t stand out, there’s not much to praise or criticize, it’s just blah.

After a brief lift to the top, Ewa is back to making good but never great photos. Obviously, this and Mat M’s shot have a lot of similarities to it thanks to the smile and commercial vibe of their shots. However, I think Mat M did a far better job with the commercial aspect of it rather than Ewa. At least Mat M was able to hold himself back to make the shot approachable, Ewa just went all the way to corny town. Her smile is infectious obviously, but it takes over his entire face, thus whipping away her amazing bone structure. With the really bad styling (she looks like a 50s wife in the worst way possible), she looks much older than she actually is. It doesn’t help that she lifted her shoulders very high up so her neck is just gone and very tense. The face pretty much ruins the shot for me, but the pose is not the best either. It’s mostly the weird arm holding up the food (is it even food?). Ewa goes back down after a perfect shot.
