I like the dress, necklace and pose. But notice how the legs of the chair or stool she is sitting on are visible. But worst of all, the nape of the neck is markedly muscular. How did that happen even I cannot guess.

I like the model's look especially the way the eyes, nose and mouth line up with the neck. But I don't like the shoulders and especially the hair. Actually the hair should've covered the shoulders. But then the object of attention - the pendant, may have lost some focus.

What grabbed my attention in this scan in not Kareena Kapoor's face but her neck. The neck and sleeves of the choli are very nice, the necklace however is altogether perfect.

Giselle Monteiro looking as beautiful as ever.

The caption reads: Sona jo naye rishtey banata hai.

It figures. If you've got gold, let's be pals (spoof;)

Overall I like the snap but it is a bit too Teutonic for me. Also I don't like the necklace. It is too curvy and stiff for my liking. Neither can I really understand the choice of lipstick shade.

This is an example of a great snap going way wrong. The hair is not only looking unmanageable but is also getting crowded out by that strange background. And is that her right hand behind her head? We would never know.

I have always wondered how have women coped with heavy earrings all these years. Aren't these a pain in the ..er neck. Ayesha Thapar's earlobes seem to be doing just fine, Thank you.

This is an example of just how tough such photography really is. The poor photographer has to fit in all the jewellery while making sure that the model does not look unnatural. Sorry, but here she DOES end up looking unnatural.

Somehow, I have never liked the idea of spaced beads or pearls. And I am sure that this trend of multi-coloured gems (Meenakari, Kundan, Jadau etc) from olden times would die yet again. The only three things I like in this image are her face, her right hand and the background cloth.

I am afraid but I like neither Ayesha Thapar nor that necklace, or whatever. Maybe it is the lipstick or the eye shadow or the light play. Something is awry somewhere.

My most favourite photo of Ayesha Thapar.

The model (Jacqueline?) is quite cute and the toning is very nice but the dress is a bit lowly in terms of fabric, pattern and folds.

I love everything about the ad. The model (Giselle Monteiro?), the background blur, the face, the eyes, the hair, the ornaments, the dress, the puja thali. Only the left hand and the caption are a bit awkward.
