Ginger is ANGRY and VENGEFUL! I love it! I love that you wrote this from not only your model’s perspective, but that you wrote it in such a way that the backstory is evident. You didn’t have to create an elongated story in order for us to understand what’s happened – that’s amazing! I would say that this evil man Ginger is hunting down deserves the torment she’s about to inflict – especially if he murdered her! Excellent story. I love your photo as well. Ginger is a stunning zombie and the look in her eye is spectacular for the story. Great work. I would say that my only critique is with the quality of the photo. There are areas where it seems over-sharpened and other areas where there are blurred spots. Other than that, this was a great assignment. |

I love the expression in her eyes, she looks revengeful and unforgiving but also victimised. You pictures always have that wonderful graphic novel look which adds uniqueness to all your entries. Not sure how you do that, you’ll have to tell me one day. The only thing I would say is I would have liked to see her victim lying on the bed sleeping unaware of what was to come. “No breath shall your waste with you lies”, (this was supposed to be your I think) |

Model Appearance: 4/5 Background/Setting: 3/5 Overall Composition: 3/5 Creativity/Originality: 9/10 Gothic Appeal: 9/10 Creativity of Mini Story: 9/10 Total: 41/50 I really like the whole concept of you writing your stories as poems. I think they’re fabulously creative and can do a great job of telling a story in a different way. I do think that your first poem was your best on this one – not sure if the other two were necessary. Also, just to make sure you know – we only want ONE photo per round – I chose to judge the better of your two photos, but just keep that in mind for the future. The only issue I have is with the forum! It seems to have censored some of your words, replacing them with the word “plum” – I wish I’d known what your original word was so that the poem didn’t suddenly lose its momentum! Your photo is really nice as well, but does appear over-sharpened so that white lines appear around your models. Overall, very creative and lovely entry! |

Model Appearance: 5/5 Background/Setting: 3 /5 Overall Composition: 4/5 Creativity/Originality: 9/10 Gothic Appeal: 9/10 Creativity of Mini Story: 9/10 Total: 42/50 The poetic approach really added to your shot this week, Lovegab. I think it told a story that explained very well what your picture was all about. Why Caramaline was out for revenge in her undead state. The shot was well executed and the composition was spot on. I would have liked to see a bit more in the background, perhaps something in that bare corner on the right. Perhaps a cactus or something that reflected the background story. The glow around Caramaline could have been reduced by using the clone stamp after you’d merged but not flattened the shot. I can see it was an in-game shot but the glow can still be reduced. |

I believe this is my favorite of yours so far! I love the unique idea of combining his transformation into one cohesive photo. It’s obvious that the models in your photo are all the same person and it shows a great transition without appearing cluttered or choppy! What I’m most impressed with, however, is your story. It is really one of the best stories that delves inside the mind of a zombie. It’s easy to brush zombies off as careless, brainless, cannibals, but you chose to give your zombie actual thoughts. I love the idea of him being so hungry, questioning his state of being, and searching for his memory. It gives zombies more human qualities that are so often forgotten under the assumption that they’re mindless eating machines. Great job! |

The clothing showed a gothic approach and the layered shot shows much thought and planning. Again your story was well written, but just one typo “stome” I think was supposed to be stone but the story read well. |

She does look beautiful here – not so terrifying, however, as described in your story. I think this was an interesting idea to go with for an “undead” assignment. I definitely was expecting zombies, not an undead witch, so that was different :) I think the undead thing could have been played up a bit more – she could have looked more undead and perhaps since she’s a witch, a setting with walking corpses could have been better? The magic you edited in was pretty good, I’m just not a fan of the background choice as it’s grainy and seems out of place. I liked that you went a different route, but I do wish you’d have really played up the undead thing in your photo with a bit more rotting flesh! Overall, creative idea! |

Model Appearance: 5/5 Background/Setting: 5/5 Overall Composition: 5/5 Creativity/Originality: 9/10 Gothic Appeal: 9.5/10 Creativity of Mini Story:8/10 Total: 45.5/50 Your picture was well created this round. Loved the background it could be passed as a rough ocean or mountains in your shot. Both suited the story. The building in the background makes Jasmine look like a giant but this is fantasy and she could be rising up ready to take her revenge so took that into consideration for this round. The magical effects worked well. Next time try to include your favourite colour in the shot, it will give you a couple of extra points, although the outfit she is wearing even though I think is supposed to be black could pass as being a deep purple colour, but couldn’t be sure. |

You did a great job with this assignment, but I do feel like it still hit close to home. The thought of bringing back a loved one once they’ve died is something I’m sure many people in reality wish they could do! I hope you’re feeling okay <3 That being said, excellent work and I love the photo sooooooo much. Your zombie Sam is pretty great! |

Model Appearance: 4/5 Background/Setting: 5/5 Overall Composition: 5/5 Creativity/Originality: 8/10 Gothic Appeal: 9/10 Creativity of Mini Story: 8/10 Total: 43/50 I enjoyed reading your story of the confident and obsessed lover and her desperation to bring Sam back from the dead and how her witchcraft gave her the means she thought to fix everything. The background was beautifully done, the outfits were perfect and really fit with your story. The ending, however was a bit cliché if there had been a twist such as her accepting her fate just to be with her love it may have given you an original edge to your story. Sam as a zombie looks effective and loved the effort you put into both outfits the witch looks fantastic in her Gothic clothing |
