“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.”
― Pablo Neruda

Cyan I love this picture, I just can't explain it. I think it's the pose the way he is telling her to shh like he is about to say something romantic. Also once again you stuck to your sims style which is something I have applauded you for right through the competition.

Cyan I love Poppy and antons kids, they are just the sweetest (especially the little boy) Your house looks like the perfect house for your couples, grown up but still funky. The only thing about this photo is it wasn't as creative as it could have been.

I absolutely love this! I love the colors and just the fact that it’s simple. I love how they’re looking into each others eyes, and how you went with this approach rather than an usual kissing pose.

Another great assignment! I love that you did a simple household set, although it wasn’t the most creative. I really like that you went with posing the children rather than them just sitting there. My only complaint is that I wish one of the parents were interacting with a child. Then again, I can see that they’re like that because she’s pregnant, right? Haha, either way it worked. Good job!

Samm I love how they are having fun and laughing. They look very at ease with each other enough to joke around and laugh. The only downside to this photo for me was the point that it was to much grey especially against a white background.

Samm I love this photo, I love how they are at summery place which was a bit of a favourite with kathleen and damian earlier on in life. I love the styling and how damian is interacting with your youngest. The only thing bothering me is that kathleen looks older where as damian still looks quite young!

I love the happiness feeling I get from this photo. I love how happy they look together, and how her red lips and hair pop. My only complaint is her eyes look a little weird to me, especially the one furthest away. Nothing major, great job!

I’m immediately drawn to this picture. I love how you went with a beach and how Damian is interacting with the little one, It’s adorable! I also like how Kathleen is pretty much relaxing. Good job!

Alrighty! I'll have it in a bit! I love the idea of a couple comp, I haven't seen one in while. Is there anything specific you want the headshot to have besides a white background?
Sure thing
I don't know, though. I'll let you know. I want to be apart of this somehow, but I don't do couples competitions. I don't have the skill for it.

Judging experiance: I've been modeling now since July. I've hosted a competition that ended a few weeks back. I've competed in numerous comps and have came in 1st in Model Moment Cycle 1, and others I've came around 4th and 3rd. So I know what to look for and how to judge ect. :-)
headshot(white background):
Thanks for that, You can be my judge:) I will have the mock up for every-one in the next few hours
I'm sure you do, you have such a great skill for everything sim related (from what I've seen) although if you really wish to judge you can apply and see...
Sounds good, thank you!
Thank you so much, I love your avatar, I think she's perfect, one of my favourite sims ever, I'd love to put her beauty to good use, if that's okay with you? :P
Thing is, I'm in so many competitions already, if this competition came out later, I would have given it a go. Everyone is making so many competitions. They should slow down. :P
Who knows, though. I could still join. I am tempted after all.:p:p:p
Ooh yeah my avatars my baby, I never actually made her myself some in the facebook community made her for me joining two years ago.
Yeah I think sign ups will be open for a while since it may take a while to get contestants since like you said everyone's already in a lot of competitions and stuff.
Is she available for download? I'll give you all the credit. She's so gorgeous! Omg. :P
People will join, you just have to give it some time, dear. I'll do my best to promote this for you? Maybe some of my friends will be interested? :shock:
Sadly not since technically she doesn't fully belong to me.. if she did I would let you use her, but can't sorry...
Yeah I hope they do oh thanks maybee..
I cant believe I over looked this, thank goodness Bob told me about this competition.
Reserved.
haha
