Interesting idea, if you could find a more creative way of presenting the magazines, the image would be alot stronger. I like the lighting though!

I don't think NG would use this picture on their cover; just take a look at their magazine. Therefore I don't think that you really meet the challenge.

I'm not sure this was quite the intent of the challenge. Then again, I suppose I could see something like this on a yearly review maybe. I do like the lighting, though, the shaft of light highlighting the magazines almost feels like reading them is a guilty pleasure and someone has opened a door into a dark room where the view is trying to read them.

This is definately a magazine cover, but I think the point of the challenge was to make your own, not take a pic of one that is already made.
That being said, your focus is way too soft to portray this magazine properly. I can't even read half the stuff printed on this cover. I also don't care for the harsh shadows under the magazines. Subject is too centered, and just doesn't draw my interest.

Is this a photo of a mock-up of a cover that you've created using your own photo of a leopard or just a photo of a pile of real issues?

the idea wasn't to take a picture of a magazine itself.

Does National Geographic show their own magazines on their cover? The use of sunlight and shadow on the floor frames the photo really nicely, though - attractive.

I'm not sure this is what the challenge mean by Magazine cover. I do like the lighting though and think it's a good picture in it's own right.

Personally I do not consider magazines to be in a horizontal shape... thats just me though. This does not fit the challenge in any way shape or form. I didn't see the challenge saying take a photo OF your favorite magazine, I believe it was to take a photo that could be the front cover of your magazine, I'm not sure NG would ever put a photo of a bunch of their magazines on their magazine. Sorry bout that, but it just doesn't fit.
