It's more a sport about learning how to stand, walk, smile, and stand out somehow without looking like a phoney or looking too over the top. In all pic's I saw you were not smiling, smiling with teeth showing is a must in these presentation sports. Also the perfect tan and shine is so important. From the pic's looks like your colour could have been better. I am being critical and don't mean to offend. When I started competing I did not place well. I haven't really changed my physique much but I have improved my presentation by a million. I know it sounds sucky, but our work in the gym and dieting can always be beat by the girl or guy who naturally shines on stage. Just the nature of a judged, subjective sport.
