Cruel and uncalled for? not in the least, a bit harsh? maybe, But its hard to drive a nail with a tack hammer.I have seem critiques that would make a statue cry.
I have worked with what some call wanna be models or one expression models over the years, usually if they didn't improve by the second session I didn't do a third session. However I had a female assistant that was a fantastic model, great with makeup and helping the models with poses and outfits.
My advice to the photographer is study The Old Masters paintings and other great photographers images for a guide to lighting, then practice, practice, practice!!! When I first began photographing models I had many images that resembled the OP's, some of the critiques where not pretty, but I made want to better.
I am the hardest judge of of my work now, if it don't REALLY suit me it is never displayed.

i was not referring to his photos, lighting, etc...i was referring to "Now, being totally honest: Your model is too brash....Unflattering red hair and lipstick...pock marked face...chunky build....and at least to me, generally unattractive. (Can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.)" as part of a post by largobob...
the photographer asked for input as to his skills, not the looks of his model...i dont think he is a portrait photographer or even a pro at this point but is trying to improve his skills
