Bird Watcher's Digest

WOW! This is a totally awesome photo! Really well done. I would have liked to have seen it a little more vertical leaving room for some type but in this case it's not too important. Fabulous catch here... that bird is going to have a tasty treat. Do you know what kind of bird it is? Whats really cool about this photo is that there are no distracting background elements... you managed to get it on a very plain and simple background which is awesome! How close were you to this little guy? Congrats on a great photo, I'm giving you my second -10- for the challenge! Good luck!

The Gardener
by Jonatan

Comment:
This is a great photo of a dandelion... but something makes me question whether a gardener would want to have this particular plant in their garden. This is a weed, and although we often think it's pretty or interesting... it is still a weed. I guess I'm questioning whether a magazine called the gardener would ever want to have a weed on the front cover, especially one that so easily spreads the seeds for more weeds. It is a cool photo though.

The Big Issue

Wow there is a lot going on in this photo... it makes me want to know what is happening and what the heck is Berties. It's very square, I think it might have been nice to give it a little more room at the top to allow for type, and also to make it more vertical and magazine like. All I can say is this is really interesting... can't say more, since I have no clue what is happening. LOL

Sailing Magazine

Very bright, colorful boat, the kind I'm sure they'd like to have on the front of their magazine. This is a nice photo... I think I might have liked it if you had zoomed in a little more, putting type over the top of the sail wouldn't have been a problem, and since the main part of the photo is the boat and not the surroundings it just might have made it more interesting.

National Geographic

Nicely done. I could definitely see this as the cover of National Geographic. :-) I think I would have liked it with a more solid background if possible. Whatever is behind it, seems kind of distracting to me... not horribly though. I kind of like the bright spot behind the one masks eye. The yellow for NG looks a little off but it's not a big deal. The lighting here is pretty good. Overall this is a solid photo... I'd like it better with a little less of a distracting background but it's still an 8 from me :-). Good luck!

Photoworld Magazine: Is digital taking over?

I like the way you propped up the CF card... I think it looks a lot better that way than just lying flat. I'm not sure I care for the way that the film canisters are soo far back in the photo... I guess there is a little too much empty space for my taste. I also have to wonder why you picked to put them so far back, that I'm not sure where the type would go. This is a nice photo, but I think it could be improved for a magazine cover. Thats just me though.

Personally I do not consider magazines to be in a horizontal shape... thats just me though. This is very pretty how you put it in front of the window kind of lightingup the glass. This might have been a cool picture for the glass challenge. I like the photo, as just that a photo, I don't think it would work as the cover of a magazine for various reasons, including the shape of the photograph, and I couldn't imagine how it would ever fit a vertical page. Although I like the photo I have to count down for my belief that it doesn't really fit the challenge. Sorry

Mushroom News

Comment:
Thats a crazy looking mushroom! Mushroom News? is there really a Mushroom News magazine? hehehehe... Nice DOF on this photo. I wonder though whether there would be enough room for type at the top... I think it wouldn't be too much of a problem though. I think this photo is well done and would definitely fit for the said magazine. Don't care for the border, not sure that most magazines have borders... thats just me though.

American Entomologist

This is really nice... very professional looking. I like the white background, amazing you got the butterfly to stay for the photo? Is it a real, live butterfly? Very nice macro. The only thing I question would be if there is room to put in the type. Just a little something that might be important for the magazine cover... I'm sure there could be a way though. Nice job! Good luck!

Trans World Skateboarding
by photogirl66

Great mid air catch! I would have liked to have seen the shutter speed just a little bit faster to keep the kids hand in focus. I like the way the people are all sitting there watching him... might have been cool to have the two at the end watching and the two with the skateboards both doing some sort of trick. It looks like there is tons of space at the bottom but not a lot at the top, I think I would have liked a little more room at the top for type. I also think zooming in on the kid, and getting him more in the picture and less cement might have been more dramatic.
