It's probably the bangs that throw off her look. God, she'd be so much cuter with a more youthful hairstyle. Straight across bangs don't work well for non-GaGas.

Lol. I didn't realise her expression in the first one, either..... That was one of my favourites, but now... It just looks awkward. D: Whatever. The others still look good.

QFT :o

So, now that everybody has seen most, if not all, of the pics in high quality, what does everybody think now? Are your opinions the same..? For me, I like a few of the pictures a little less, but I still really like the calendar overall. I'm not disappointed at all. :)

(^ This is off-topic, but for the longest time I didn't know what the heck "QFT" meant. All I could think of was the quantum field theory... So I looked it up just now, lol. Gosh, I feel so un-hip. >_>)

^ haha XD qft = quoted for truth :yes

anyways..

I don't like her facial expression in this picture cuz it reminds me of S/S covers one :dead2

and I think her best shot of this year is this one:

stunnin' :luv2

Ooh. Thanks for the closer HQ pics. :) Beautiful~

my opinion changed a little.. this one used to be my least favorite

and now it's one of my favorites. ughh the colors are awesome and she's so cute but she also looks sad. i like that combination

I like it less than before, just 2 pics now (the water and the smiling one = gorgeous).
Damn, her expressions are painful in the rest, so dumb.

I think they are still better than anything she has done in 2009,esp SUNRISE/SUNSET cover, even though lower right is bad photoshopped.

Probably this should be the original SUNRISE/SUNSET cover, but it is too gorgeous. Ayu want it a larger poster version for everyone.

I really like the pic, where she is lying in the water.

the 4 slightly more HQ pictures are like my least favorites, except the one in the water - that's one of my favorites. :)

Wow this calendrar is just....

:thud

Its perfection... The flower pic and the water pic... Probably the best shoots in years!

Aahhhh!! I must get the TA poster!!!

I like some of the pictures..
and I love this picture too but somehow the water looks photoshopped on her :/

I agree. She doesn't look wet at all, and her pose seems stiff and unnatural for lying in the water too. That's why this isn't my favorite picture, I prefer the much more natural picture where Ayu is smiling. :)

I just realised, Ayumi has quite a bit of ear piercings. Like, I knew she had second lobes and such, but I don't think I've ever seen the cartilage piercing before.

thanks for the HQ photos :luv2.

This is MUCH better than last year's. Last year's calendar had lots of photos that I thought looked unnatural. I am not saying that this year's is not fully natural, but I definitely like these photos more!
Go Ayu~
