As I understand it, this is a photography challenge, not a manicure challenge.
She gives me her time, I try my best to shoot great shots. There's a line "beggars can't be...". Well, if that's how she likes her nails what am I going to say.
And what should you have to say about it either. Critique the photography, but leave the model out of it.

I think the whole point is the fingernail whether you like the shape or not, is a major distraction in this shot. That is not being petty, just factual. :)
WOW Doug I have to agree with you and I didn't even notice her nail wasn't "perfect" while voting. I guess I was too busy looking at the whole photograph. I voted this a 9 with the intention of bumping up while going back through but didn't make it. Sorry for that.
This is a beautiful image that both YOU and the MODEL should be VERY proud of and this should have placed much higher.
this is very well lit and i like that you can't see her eye, but in my opinion this is ruined by her nail. it is way long and kind of awkward looking. it is really destracting to me
Great photo, but can't for the life of me figure out why her fingernail is squared off. Maybe you intended to draw my attentio there, in which case you succeeded brilliantly.
The square trimmed nail is a nice touch, I don't know if she wears them that way all the time, but the sudden ending of the finger is great. The only downside, and I'm not requesting validation, is that the hat doesn't look like it is on her head, but in front of it. I would expect the hair to be pinched in a bit. The hat may be large, but that is how it looks
sexy pose and pretty model. good lighting. the placement of her finger looks a little odd though - it's too high past her lips, looking like she is scratching her nose.
