Good clear photo. I find the lips in the upper right corner to be distracting.

I have a little scene just like this enclosed in glass. I kind of think if the subject was completely black it would almost look like an ink drawing - or color paints. I feel you should have burned the glare on the top left of the large building though. good composition.

Comment by MWitt:
The backlighting is a little too harsh for me. I wonder if you were going for a silhouette. This would have made a great silhouette with all the fine detail in the buildings and tree. Composition works for me. 7

Comment by cbonsall:
(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.

Is thi sa model? Nice pic though

---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.

Beautiful shot, I really like this but I'm marking all "landscape" shots a point lower as I don't believe they fit the challenge parameters.

Wonderful photo. The color tone, shapes and art feel of this would make a great magazine cover.

Nice idea, but how many magazine covers use the landscape format?

nice shot and nice interpretation of the challenge.. at first i thought the picture could have been better balanced with the ducks more in the middle, but the inclusion fo the water motiion is nice.. nice detail..
