i like shadow cast over the hill and the whole landscape looks beautifull, but this guy IMO does not belong to this photo, I do not why, but he just does not fit. because you have nice grass, nice sky, nice shadows, nice composition lines. = 6
Yup... I could definitely see this as the front cover, although I would have liked the guy in action rather than just standing there looking at the camera. As it is, it's almost just a snapshot... I think it would have been cool to see him climbing the mountain or something.
This is a nice picture, however, I think it might have had a better magazine cover feel if the hiker was facing the scenery rather than looking at the camera. Just my opinion.
