It's a nice photo, but the hand seems to be at an alkward angle, which slightly detracts from the photo. Also the green stripe on the left side is distracting. Nice photo

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.

Great pic otherwise though I do find the border distracting

---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.

Very distinctive photo, I like it a lot, although I think a portrait photo for this challenge is better - 8

Magazine covers should be Portrait not Landscape. It amazes me how many people don't seem to realize this or think of it. With the apparent high rez you have here, it seems you could have easily cropped this so that it's Portrait.

excellent idea, but its not magazine format. maybe better with the nose in focus as well. But colorwise its very good.
