sundhae_143 - We know that you have been busy dealing with personal matters this week, but why this photo? It looks as if you just spray painted your face on a current Adidas ad only that your spray painted face cannot be seen. A good choice would have been submitting an understated print ad, with just your face, your smile and a product.

bakekong - I am glad you have taken some good advice and used it to improve your photo. There is still an issue with the lighting, particularly in your hand area where the focal point of the ad should be, which is the ring, but overall this is loads better than your previous pic.

CANDYMAN - Not a bad photo, not a good one either. Your facial expression lacks the edge and personality of an F&H Model (considering the type of clothes they sell). And maybe you could've shifted your body to the side a bit?

Jude - This photo captured the essence of an F&H Lifestyle: its hip, its fashionable: very "club". My only problem with your pic is the repetitive copy-pasting of your face in the entire photo: it gives a dizzying 3D feel to it. It would've been easier on the eyes had you mad the background transparent and put the main image in the middle.

br@t - This photo is fun to look at. But since this is a product endorsement ad, maybe you could've shifted the Cream-O box a bit so that the audience can see the brand logo? And that green dripping effect beneath the "Cream-O" text is inconsistent with the product, as it is supposed to be chocolatey. It would've been wiser to use shades of brown instead of shades of green.

pipo2 - Kudos for raising the bar high. Nice pose, but your hands seem to have not catched any light from the camera at all. And in your chest to stomach area, the photo-editing was lousily done, it seemed obvious that your photo was just superimposed on an existing ad. The Louis Vuitton logo was a bit blurred too. (BTW, you didn't have to put your nick on the ad that way... to be consistent you could've emulated the way they put the endorser's name on ads like this: "Pipo2 for Louis Vuitton" in a smaller font would've been classier)

AKI _ This is a brilliant ad but you didn't have to go shirtless, I promise. And an all white background with your pic in black & white would've been more consistent with the "Got Milk?" campaign and easier on the eyes, too. Your product endorsement looks cluttered. There are a lot of elements in it yet the text size is so small. But I commend you for coming up of this idea. (Next time, though maybe you could consider proper punctuation and capitalization in your Ad Copy)

sundhae_143 -- This is a modelling competition, not a photoshopping competition. While this is a nice ad for Adidas, you're essentially a non-entity in the photo. I saw the unedited pics used to create this photo, and they weren't that impressive either. Your body angles were all awkward.

pipo2 -- A stand-out photo. Good body angle. I love how you manage to highlight the product while still managing to stand out. I wish your facial expression was edgier though. Your face here seems to lack any emotion.

JUDE -- Obviously you love sunglasses. Hehe. I like this pic, even if it's simple. I love how your eyes have an anime-ish quality about them, and of course there are those juicy lips again. Watch out for your hands though. Your fingers look a bit awkward, since they're not evenly spaced apart.

CANDYMAN -- In a product endorsements, you should be able to balance focusing on the product and highlighting your best assets. I don't think you accomplished that with this pic. The product isn't emphasized at all. Your face is blank. I don't see any attitude.

br@t -- This is a better pic than last week, but I still don't think you've reached your potential. I'm still waiting for you to wow us. So far your pics have been pretty average. You know you can do better than this.

bakekong8 -- This pic is AMAZING! Considering the pic you submitted last week, I would never have thought you'd be capable of coming up with a pic like this. Fabulous. Your eyes are haunting. I love how your right eye is hiding right behind the ring.

A K I -- Nice concept, but all the background stuff is a bit distracting. If I were to screen all of that out, and just focus on you, the pic is quite simple. It's very safe. You're not pushing any envelopes here, although I guess that's how it's supposed to be for commercial modelling.
