Comment by nards656:
That cover photo is a great photo. Did you take it, or was it really a NG cover? I have a hard time voting because of that question. If you took it, it really would be great PJ for a mag cover based on the article title. If, however, you simply took a shot of an existing cover, it would only be a picture of a magazine. I see the DP Challenge line, so I suspect it's your shot. Thus, I'm giving you some benefit of the doubt, but because you haven't shown this to be your shot, I'm taking a couple away. Fair enough? 7 nards656

Obsession is right! I like the colors on this, and teh lighting works well. However, your crop leaves me feeling like it is a little flat. Maybe some kind of different perspective would give it more feeling of depth. karmat

Congratulations for making the cover! Very cool idea and well executed. The picture of the peacock is nice, good pose of the bird and good texture of the tree. The piling of the magazines is a nice detail.

I think that a photograph of a photograph is a bit of a cheat. But still, I like this a lot and have made it one of my top 5 this week. Jak 8.

Comment by PTLParsons:
Great idea. Looks too faked - something abut the way the peacock is on the tree. Too much greenery in the background - almost hides the bird. Good composition just needs better execution. PTL6

I find it to be a rather iffy interpretation of the challenge, but it is indeed creative...!
