Congratulations to the winners!

Twenty images were selected to be critiqued and the winners have been chosen. Do you agree with the ratings?

Congratulations to Nico Socha for submitting the highest community rated image and to Chris Jollie for being the randomly selected entrant to win a free Fstopppers original tutorial. We will be in touch with both of you via your Fstoppers profile to claim your prize.

If you would like to be a part of the next Critique the Community, we are going to have Elia Locardi in the studio with us giving feedback to your best landscape images. Submit your entries HERE.

Rules & Prizes

Your next chance for an image critique is here. Submit your best beauty photos to receive feedback and a chance to win an Fstoppers tutorial of your choice. 

Excellent beauty photography comes down to the perfection of detail in a model's face. We have always admired the work of Julia Kuzmenko McKim, whose work is featured above, as an example to be followed when it comes to beauty photography. While her portfolio is full of 4 and 5 star images, we want to see the full range of images from Fstoppers members this week. Between now and August 23rd, we invite you to upload two of your best beauty images for a chance to be critiqued by the Fstoppers team and to win one of two free Fstoppers original tutorials. The first winner will be based on the highest rated community image and the second will be chosen randomly from the entries. 

After images are uploaded, we encourage all community members to scroll through and rate them fairly yourselves. The quickest way to do this is by using your keyboard's arrow and number keys. Feel free to leave feedback of your own in the images comment section but please keep your words helpful and encouraging. We're all growing in this creative process together.

Incoming: Lots of beautiful images of pretty girls with lips slightly parted and blank expressions on their faces.

Thank You very much! The image was originally not black and white but I like it because it is not typically "beauty" as expected.

Here is the original version: https://fstoppers.com/photo/280750

And also thanks to the community!

I think I like this color version even more! Great image

Someone that comments this is always the one with zero photos submitted and takes photos of stuffed animals for their community college course in photography.

Good luck to you if you think the Fstoppers critiques have anything to do with relying on the 1% models available.

Learn the communication skills necessary to engage with people and be honored enough to have them sit in front of you. After that, come back here and post a photo so you can add some worth to the community.
