Good portrait of the dog with all the tonal range captured. With all that snow(?) on him/her, it might have been fun to show a little of the surroundings.

Obviously the first thing to see is that it is shot in landscape mode, but I'm sure a magazine layout editor could do something with it. The image is seasonal, slightly amusing, and could cover a topic about pets in winter or similar so I could see it on the front of the magazine. It's a tad soft, and the eyes are a little dark, which is disappointing as they seem to be my main focus due to the expression. A little dodging on the eyes could bring out the catchlight a little more and make them more pronounced.

interesting idea, but quite abstract. I can't quite name anything specific such as technical flaws or compositional deficit, other than personal taste.

(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.


---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.

Not too sharp, I'm afraid. But still a charming portrait.
