FINAL DECISION!!!

OMG GUYS

I cant believe this moment is here!

What I would like each of you to do now is compare each picture in Karasu and Chantal's portfolios and state which picture you prefer from each shoot and give a short comment why for some only, or all if you wish.

Eg-

Shoot 1-Frames: Chantal because blah blah blah
Shoot 2- Fiesta: Karasu because yada yada

Then state at the end who you would like to see win, which should be based on who has the best pictures
This is exciting guys coz i think chantal and karasu are pretty frickin equal atm so i cant wait to see what you say!!

TALLY:

KARASU: Nigel, Lesus, Mark
CHANTAL: Andy, Bree

It all comes down to you, Cozy! If you vote Chantal, it will be decided by viewer votes

Frames: Chantal - while both of them were deplorable, Chantal showed far more potential. Karasu was lucky enough to find an angle that didn't make him look jaw-heavy, but Chantal still showed us an absolutely beautiful face, and more importantly, her incredbile sense of fashion. I believe Chantal's fashion consciousness was what gave her a huge edge.
Fiesta: Karasu, because his body language was more natural and cool.
Workout: Chantal, because despite a busted face her body was great and she looked so campy and eighties. Karasu was a bit of a hot mess.
Commandments: Hard one, but I'll say Chantal. She got the cheesiness of the shot but still made it a fashion shot.
Simple: Karasu - American Apparel Ad right there.
Dramatic: Chantal - one of the best INTM photos of all time, like Lesus said. This is when Chantal really showed that she had potential to win, I think.
Robot: Karasu, because Chantal's was a hot hot mess.
Emotions: Karasu, because he showed more subtlety and control than Chantal.
Runway: Chantal, because she is freakin' stunning and it is again one of the best shots in INTM history.
Colours: Karasu, because he knows his angles so freakin' well.
Bike: Chantal, because she looks like the coolest kid in school.
Fish: Chantal, because she mastered her angles and stuck her neck out (figuratively).
Final shot: Chantal, because she really listened to criticism.

Chantal: 7
Karasu: 5
The frame could change everything! AHHH!

I also believe Chantal should win (and thanks for the plug there, Andy!! Heh heh). The difference between myself and Kazara though is that Kazara was young, very green, and I was very much a tomboy who was "playing" fashion. Chantal LOVES fashion, has impeccable fashion sense, knows how to dress for her body, and has quite good posing skills. I think Karasu is naturally attractive which helps him take beautiful pictures, however, Chantal simply screams "model" to me. I'm all about the Channy.

frames: SHAQ! i'll say karasu with the new one, because chantal was doing the weird angles.
fiesta: karasu. he was aloof, and chantal was too pinup-y
workout: chantal. karasu's was goofy, but not fashion.
commandmnets: chantal. karasu's was great, but chantal's was better by a tiny bit.
simple: karasu.both turned great pictures in, but hers had just a tiny bit more negative comments with the pose and the way her arms looked.
dramatic: chantal. cause she rocked this shit.
robot: karasu. even with chantal's redone picture, i still think karasu did better.
emotions: karasu. chantal's was cartoony, but still a great picture.
runway: karasu. they both had great picture, but i can see more movement and fiftyness in his.
colors: karasu. she did an angle again
bike: chantal. she looked sporty, she looked stylish, she looked awesome.
fish: chantal. gorgeous picture. simple as that.
final: chantal. i agree with bree about this one. she really put some effort and changed it up.


karasu: 7
chantal 6

really, they both have some great portfolios and i might come back and edit this, but so far, karasu by one point.
idk who i'm gonna vote for yet :S

Frames: Chantal already looks like a model in her shot, she just needed to learn her angles. Karasu's showed potential, but no control
Fiesta: Karasu definitely showed his strength here with a strong, masculine pose. Chantal's look is beautiful, but a little hoochie.
Workout: Karasu was hilarious and dedicated here, Chantal was pretty but not goofy enough.
Commandments: I gotta say Karasu. This shot will always stick in my mind when I think of him. Chantal's was great as well, but not as memorable.
Simple: Chantal. Both needed a lot of work here, but Chantal's was a tad more clean. Karasu was dead in the eyes.
Dramatic: Chantal, straight out of a high fashion spread. Karasu's was good, but nowhere near as impressive.
Robot: Karasu did better the first time, but I think Chantal's redo is a little better than his original shot. So Chantal.
Emotion: Karasu blew me away this week. Chantal was a little too dramatic here.
Runway: Karasu, works better as a photo and shows off his body. Chantal's was good, but made her look short and her face was weird.
Colors: Karasu. Despite the femme, Chantal's didn't show enough awareness of what looks good for her.
Bike: Chantal, the shot is so much more fashion than Karasu, who was workin' the same damn expression...
Fish: Chantal shocked me this week, and proved she deserves to be here. Karasu fell a little flat.
Final: Chantal, because it is 100% better than her original shot. Karasu's was better, but I would have given it a middle callout that week.

Chantal: 7
Karasu: 6

Wow, I am right on the fence here. In the re-do critique, I chose Chantal to win, but now I'm thinking Karasu. They both have really kickin' portfolio's. In the beginning few weeks, Chantal was strong, professional and consistent, whereas Karasu showed brilliance but no control. Then, Karasu started to shine in the middling weeks and pull out some amazing photos. However, I think he slid back a little towards the end and gave Chantal time to step up her creativity. I just don't know. I choose CHANTASU.

jk, i'll pick later.

Frames- Chantal Wins. Its weird because I would have pegged Karasu as an early boot- off, but the same with Chantal too. They both look like wannabe models,but the photos both fall flat. Chantal just gets past with this shot!
Fiesta- Chantal Wins. I love, love, love Chantal's picture. I love the pose, the glasses and the face. There is no denying her fierceness. Whereas Karasu is using the car more for a prop and its kind of just in the frame, Chantal sells the whole package!
80's Workout- Chantal Wins. This picture may not have been the best of the week, but you damn sure look like your from the 80's! Karasu looks possessed and doesn't even look like himself!
Commandments- Chantal Wins. By far one of my favorite pictures in INTM history! I love everything about this photo!
Robot- Karasu Wins. Karasu oozes robot, and Chantal's was just a big mess!
Emotions- Chantal Wins. I just love this picture of Chantal I get just get the 50's vibe more from it and I just love her angry expression. It shows she is a chameleon because her expression in every photo she has ever taken is different!
Runway- Karasu Wins. This picture hit the nail on the head it is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! This picture oozes model potential!
Simple- Chantal Wins. I may be the only one who says this but looking back at Karasu's picture I don't like it as much as I used too. The nose really distracts me. I love this shot of Chantal because it is deer caught in the headlights but caught at just the right time!
Dramatic- Karasu Wins. While I do love Chantal's shot, Karasu gets the point because his is way more dramatic. They are both excellent shots, and this is where I could see both of them coming up as frontrunners in the competition!
Colors- Chantal Wins. Its crazy but I love this picture of Chantal! I love that it shows her angles and that it also has that androgyny lacking in Karasu's shot.
Bike- Chantal Wins. This bike shot is incredible! She looks in control and her face is just beautiful!
Fish- Chantal Wins. By far this was the best shot of the week! She looks like a real model!
Final- Karasu Wins. I like this shot of Karasu a lot, and while I may have originally ranked it lower than Chantals, not that I look back I can see this as a hair- ad, or something of the sort. He looks like a punk- rock superstar and this shot shows that he, like Chantal can model!

Chantal- 9
Karasu- 4

Chantal SHOULD win. To be honest I see a lot of Bree- like qualities in Chantal, which is something I loved about you (Bree) in the first place. You both weren't afraid to push the envelope and I think that Chantal is just the overall better model. This is no doubt my favorite final 2 ever, because last cycle there was no competition to be honest I was set on Bree! Karasu is the best male model we have ever had on this show and I think he just falls short in the end. Yes, he is a good model, but I think looking back at his portfolio I may have praised him to highly on some pictures, and the same is true for Chantal. Overall I have had such a fun time this cycle and I just wanna say that it was so much fun to be a judge with you guys!

ugh you mean i have to go and track down all the photos myself? lame

Frames: Chantal. This was back when I didn't think much of Karasu. I feel like Chantal got more creative with the angle of the frame and the composition.
Ford Fiesta: Chantal. I like her pose better and again the composition. Karasu's leaning on the car like that is kind of awkward and I can't really see his face. (btw I just rofl'd @ Shaq's picture all over again)
80's workout: Its close but again I have to go with Chantal. I love how long her leg looks sticking out and also her outfit, though shes a bit tight around the mouth. Karasu's is fun too but the face is almost too goofy and its not really modelsque.
10 commandments: Definitely Chantal. This was her firs shining moment. I love how she actually looks like shes running, her expression, everything. Karasu's is fun too but it doesn't compare to Chantal's.
Simple: Karasu. His looked more like an ad to me, despite the fact I think he's slouching too much. Chantal's was a bit boring
Dramatic: Chantal for sure. This wasn't just her best photo, but probably the best photo of the entire competition. Damn that face is fierce.
Robot: Karasu. His was my favorite picture this week. I think this was when Karasu started to surge for me and when Chantal began to faulter a bit.
Emotions: Karasu. I really loved the idea of using the mirror. His face really looks sad and modelesque and I like how hes holding the hat to his chest.
Runway: Chantal. She looks sooo tall and her face looks really modelesque
Colors: Chantal. I really love Chantal's face here. Her face, if you look hard enough, kind of reminds me of Jael's.
Bikes: Karasu. Karasu, because I like his composition and expression more. Though Chantal does look like an Eastern European model in hers.
Fish: They both did awesome, but I have to go with Chantal. She looks like the real Chantal here and I love me some Chantal Jones. I also love how her eyes, lips, and the fish all match. I do really love Karasu's shot too though.


Ok so what do we have here?

Chantal: 8
Karasu: 4

And I was under the impression that we were supposed to go back and replace their final photo in place of the original and then do this? Thats how it was last cycle.

Anyway, now I have to pick a winner. Even though Chantal has Karasu beat in terms of individual photos by a 2:1 ratio, I'm actually pretty torn, because I feel like Karasu was over all more consistent than Chantal, even if he wasn't always better than her. Chantal was more versatile though. Karasu kind of gave us alot of the same expressions. However, Chantal's unstability kind of turned me off, how she always acted like she could quit at any moment. Karasu was much more passionate about it. Then again, Chantal seems to have a better grip on what makes a great shot. And she was never in the bottom 2, thats impressive. But Karasu wasn't either until last week when at least one of them had to be. And he has a higher call out average than Chantal. What to do, what to do?...I vote for..............Karasu.

why do firebolt and bree only have 12 votes? (bree has eleven but with the frame it's going to be 12)
they have 13 pictures.

I didn't vote for the final shoot because I think we're supposed to replace them in their portfolios, not give them their own vote. Thats how it was last cycle. I'm almost positive.

i vote for karasu because he's been consistent, he's more into this than chantal appears to be, and well...i want a guy winner :/
chantal has a great portfolio, but she wasn't consistent and she kinda complained about the photoshooots (even though the ones where she complained were the ones where she excelled).

i want both of them to win! and if cozy picks chantal, it's not going to make a difference because the viewers' vote is tied too.

I voted in the viewer vote poll....was i not supposed to?

lol, no, mark!!!

thats alright tho

just dont tell anyone else lol

who did you vote for in the poll?

I prefer not respond. O_O

LOL domnt worry everyone, it was still correct coz nigel did the same thing, except he voted for chantal lol, so it evens out
