Posting it now since i won't be in town.  My title- The Fire Within I chose this because to me Romance Novels are over exaggerated at this what I get from this photo to the hair, the gloves, etc. I think it shows or hopefully shows what the judges are looking for. |

Adele: You look great, but it's a little bit boring for a Romance Cover. I want something spicier, the setting is unattractive for me. Last week, your setting really help you a lot. On the positive note, you look beautiful and confident here.

Amanda: No setting. No man. You need one of those. If it's you with your lover, I don't care if there's a setting or not - many romance covers don't have one if they have passion between the two central characters. But here, you're just a sexy woman. A very sexy woman. There's no denying that you're really pretty here, but you have almost no relation to the theme. I would never guess "romance" with this as your cover. This seems more... "biography." Your modelesquity and attractiveness will help you a lot, but the theme relation is something to worry about. A lot.

Hayley: When I saw this picture, I thought to myself "Is she going for a Pretty Woman type of feel or is she going for a Paris Hilton/Kim Kardashian feel with this photo?" Then I remembered that it's pretty much the same thing. Except the latter lacks substance. I agree with Amanda that a romance cover needs either a setting or a partnering on the cover or else it looks like it could be for a different style of book. However, I'm not going to say that your picture looks devoid of romance novel connection. It just isn't that strong this week. I do appreciate you giving us the exaggerated aspects of the photo that are in line with most romance novel covers, though. The windblown hair and the outfit really help you this week.

Natalie: I agree with the judges. This really needs a backstory or a man, and leaves something to be desired without either. I think that while this photo has strong modelling aspects, it just doesn't fit the theme well. Sorry!
