Looks like this is a jungle somewhere. Good depiction of the challenge, the leading lines work well. Maybe a little boost on the contrast - 9.

Excellent viewpoint and coloration. I wish you could see more colours however...it's hard for me to picture the colour of the water and plants. A very inviting shot.

Thank you very much to all of you for the votes and comments. I didn't get to be among the 3 first ones, but I got very close. I received 50 very positive comments and I was very satisfied. The line between the non sense and ridiculous is very thin and it is very gratifying when we noticed that we got right in the point.
Regards

Hey, you're the guy with the 1/2 face, 1/2 photo self portrait. If I'm wrong, just ignore me. lol
This shot is nice. I don't think that this photo would ever be on the front cover of NG though. Probably not the one IN the photo either, but hey, it does have humor value, and is very nicely done. And since i'm not voting, who cares what i say anyway. lol
Your focus and clarity are good. I think that the reflections in your glasses are a bit distracting due to the fact that the expression on your face draws my attention there right away.
The angle and framing/cropping are good, but wonder if this could be vertical crop rather than a short stumpy horizontal crop.
The lighting is good overall, but wouldn't want it any brighter on your hat.
Definately made me smile.

If my comment is brief, it's because the Magazine Cover shots are going to be taken off the CC list tonight at midnight, and I can get to more of them, using less words. Figured even a brief comment is better than no comment at all.

Great idea! Just a little more light on the eyes and a tad more contrast with the background and this would could be a sure winner.

Very original and successful too. The sepia toning fits in well.
