Nice, I wish you had more color in the sky but it does fit for the title though.

It's nice and fitting. I maybe being petty here but the eye under the shadows is so dark that at first glance she looks like she has a black eye. Perhaps lighten her right eye a little bit. But if you wanted it this way, it's your license.

The Golden Years - Spring

Also AARP :-). Wow, this is one very well thought of subject matter and composition. You even left space for the title above them. Good job! (I don't know what the format is of your magazine but if you crop it to the usual magazine size, it will even be more fitting, but I am being petty.)

Yes! Very fitting, even you left space for the title! I would increase the contrast a little (or saturation) as there is a gray cast. I am sure looks good in your version but my experience is that there is a loss of contrast when pictures are uploaded. But composition is good, subject is very fitting, background is wonderful ... I give it a 9.

I think this would be more appropriate for the magazine called "Pageantry" :-).

Love this. I find that many nature magazines have this kind of photo for their cover with the animal sort of flying into the picture. Very well thought of and you even left space for the title. A ten!

Good shot. If probably be most improved if you showed just a little bit of the head, still covered but maybe a part of the face should show.

Yikes ... a one? How on earth can anybody score this with a one? Something is wrong somewhere. Despite the ones, I still think this representation fits the challenge well (and that alone deserves several points), and was executed beautifully.
