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.

My two cents as a new member of the community is: when you give a 1 or 2 star rate, you should also give a critique, or your vote wouldn't be valid.
I really do like the 5 stars rating system. 1 stars and 5 stars should be rare than the others, you would have a better accuracy about your piece, and the patch you should follow to improve your skills.
Can. I submit more than one?
I was left wanting to see at least one African American image over a 2. I am just saying. Maybe it is just me. Something to think about next critique.
It states, "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."
Thank you sir
I really wish we could get critique from Julia to improve our work. Because if there is no critique then we won't know what is right and wrong in our images to improve in future.
So one winner by community and one winner by judges including Julia. So instead of the "random winner" replacing it with a Editor's pick kind of thing and then critique of like the top 10 images by Julia
I'm with you on this one. It would be nice to have her CC especially after watching the automotive critique video.
Sometimes you'll get good CC from people on here. I haven't gotten too much myself and even in one video my photo got destroyed by them but it's art... you can get mad or keep in mind you do it for yourself!
This lot of photos is the worst yet in terms of fitting the genre.
Out of 300+, there may be around 65 or so beauty photos with the rest being portraits, headshots, and random trolling.
If these contests are going to be legitimate, and not a waste of time for judges and entrants, the voting system and qualification criteria have to be overhauled.
