I love snaps where the subject is looking away. Specifically, I love candid snaps of people in deep thought with a serious expression oblivious of what is happening around them. Here Kareena is somewhat is that sort of a state. Though the hair is a bit unmanaged and the legs are a bit awkward, the dress is nice with fabric contrast in the top (satin). The broad V neck also lends character.

In a fairly elaborate advertorial with more than 10 pages, this image was the best of the lot. What I liked most about the photo is the play of colours topped off by the red line on the wall. The fact that the skin is toned down exaggerates the colour play.

I like the overall colour scheme and the background but not the hair. And especially not the skirt. And especially because she is sitting. I became Shruti's fan when I caught her interview on Rediff. She is quite sophisticated.

I like the way the bug brooch complements the flowers on the dress and especially its placement close to the neck. I also like the upper half of the background. But the rest of the image is quite ordinary. The flowers have been overdone and the gloves are too short, too thick and too black.

I love the background blur and how it complements the colours of the dress. And the dress is nice too but the most striking feature of this image is how Shruti Agarwal's hair blends in with the fur collar. And her face has come out very well too.
