Drat - this would have placed much better in the next challenge, the low key one, than it will as a magazine cover.

She looks squished. Maybe you need a tighter crop so it looks more intentional that you cut her hands and feet - or a looser crop so she can have some room. the image is lovely

maybe the haze desaturated the colors but I think a magazine would have more color.

National Geographic

Comment:
the yellow detracts big time - I suppose you were going for the national geographic look, but as a stand alone image, the yellow border draws attention away from the yellow eyes and beak which should be the focal point. You have done a nice job of picking up that yelow in the leaves benind while the orange of the beak is picked up by the feathers. Get rid of the border and you have a strong photo.
