"Play AD if you want, the top five in each category in order of who would get the job"   

Nope.  Your problem to make three happy and piss off everyone else.  I'm not gonna get into that...

lol, i hope not.  the point of this whole thing was to have some fun, and try to understand what an AD is thinking by making myself an AD, its to help me understand it from a new perspective. What was it that made me hire this person and maybe i can learn from that as well.

As for the job applicants, instead of usual critique on their whole work or this or that shot, , its a critique for a specific job, and is more real world related in the process of getting hired.  At least that is the intention.

Sincerely,

Clay Pigeon AD and method photographer, lol

exercise:  ad agency ABC needs to find a photographer and  2 models male and female for their client, 
Marvel Comics, they are looking for villians (people you would not want to meet in a dark alley)  and an edgy dark photographer with a slight comic book style,  it is for print in a national gaming publication that has a young teen audience, and there is a good budget.,,,  * this is not about the money or the usage rights < lets say its great.
