after seeing the contestants photo, my general feeling is that you need to improve a tad on your smile.
There are many people in this thread supporting other contestants (a bit rude may i add) but you may have already realised, the majority of contestants flashed a radiant smile and that made a difference. The trick here is to make the judges (voters in this case) feel good enough to vote for you.
Doubt my credibility if you would, but i have seen enough pageants where really potential contestants crashed out because they thought the judges (voters) like the idea of a cool and stern look (aka fashion spread look). But no, that's not the case.
I've visited your blog and i think you have a very nice smile. Put that asset to use and you stand a higher chance of winning. 70% of your score is dependent on the judges and you got to make them feel good enough to give high scores.
My $0.02 worth, though others may beg to differ.
All the best to you.
ps: i'd like to go shoot the event if you have any more spare tix left.
Hi sprewell...
I'm surprised by the long post of yours. But I feel that its good that you write. Since you write such a long one to me, I shall return your post witha long one too. ;p
Firstly, I know the photo didnt turned out well for me. I was abit annoyed initially. Afterall, there's only photos for voters to decide who to place their vote for.
The photo that was eventually chosen and published is not up to me. I have no say in it. I did have some 'smiley shots' too, but I do wonder why they aren't chosen to be published.
There are people who will definitely support other contestants. Its inevitable. I never expect every one to support me just because I'm a fellow CSer who happen to have an interest in modelling and photography at the same time.
You cant help it but wonder why some people would gatecrash into this thread supporting others. Thoug knowing that the thread starter is one of the contestants. I suppose that sensitivity is not a concern here. nonetheless, they have their freedom to decide who deserves to be voted.
Though its a competition, I don't want it to turn out bitchy among the contestants who others are supporting. No point to make things so ugly. So just lets have fun! . . . .
