Focuse isn't sharp enough

National Geographic: A New Insect Discovered?

Comment:
Very poor focus on the subject and the background is too vast and too dull to make it to NG as a cover.

Sing Out! ( http://www.singout.org/ )

Comment:
The main subject looks unhappy and the movement has made the focus poor. The arm at the left of the picture is distracting and the man on the right is mostly obscured. I think it's too busy and not sharp enough to be a magazine cover, and it's also lacking any "wow" appeal.

Nice shot - shame his face is in profile.

Very crisp and clean but not especially inspiring. Fine for a magazine cover, though, as it would be much busier with the text, logo etc over it.

Cake

Comment:
The cake isn't the focus of the shot - nothing really is. There's little of the cake to be seen from this angle. The lighting is quite pretty but the detail on all the flowers is lost and the ferns look quite messy. The background is not very good at all - I can see a stepladder! I doubt this would ever make it onto a magazine cover.

Why cut off the front wheel like that?

Boating Life

Comment:
I'd have cropped out the bottom boat - it's very bright and distracting and detracts from the overall effect.

Little wrong with the image, technically but you chose a poor subject - that flower centre has bits falling off it and it's not that pleasing to look at.
