Judges Comments

Teenage Girls: Stacey Clayton, aged 14 years |
"The girl is looking a bit self-conscious; a bit wooden. If you showed it to her and she said, 'Great, that's just how I see myself', then you've done a good job." Score: 11 |

Teenage Girls: Shereen Khadaroo, aged 14 years |
"This I enjoyed very much. Such a beautiful face. I am sure she would do very well in cover magazine and face photography." Score: 19

Spice Girls: Charlotte Lane, aged 11 years |
"There's quite a bit of symmetry with this. It's straightforward, the model is staring straight at the lens. I quite like it for it's simplicity. I can enjoy looking at this, but I wouldn't want to have it on the wall and live with it." Score: 14

Spice Girls: Katie Murphy, aged 10 years |
"It's a very strong portrait, very powerful eyes although there is rather heavy shadow there. She is leaning forward into the camera; that adds a certain strength to it." Score: 12
