Horizon line seems a bit awkward, however the picture would be much less without it. A 7 for me. Minimal frame is on this works. Interaction of soft and sharp edges makes this a enjoyable and pleasing composition.

(I'm writing this to everyone who submitted a landscape shot) The challenge was to produce a shot worthy of a magazine cover but to me a shot like this is not suitable to be put on a "portrait" format magazine.


---ADDITIONAL---
Due to forum discussions and accusations that marking landscapes down is nitpicking, I'm going through them and remarking. I still think some of the landscapes would not make good covers because of their orientation but I am no longer marking down because of that.
I still think landscape is inapropriate for the majority of magazines but I'll give the benefit of the doubt to the photographers.

This is just a great composition that you have caught here, I would like to see just a little more contrast in the picture - 8

LOL. A bubble caption reading, "You want a piece of me" would fit perfectly here. It looks like that bird is picking a fight with you. The only thing I would change would be to adhust your settings to bring out more texture in the snow. It is hard to do but I have seen it done. Just don't ask me how. Haven't figured it out myself.

Your colors are very dull and grainy. A little more light may have helped this a little.
