First of all, congrats on yet another ribbon, as well as your second highest scoring photo to date. I'll also provide a bit of clarification, as least as I understand it, for chispa. As long as the "artwork" is not the subject of the image, it is allowed. In this example, it is not the subject, rather it is a small portion of the overall composition.
Camera Work/Technical: Everything looks nicely focused and very crisp. The tonal range is also very nice, thus making this image particularly appealing.
Lighting: Great, even lighting here with no losses in blown highlights or dark shadows. The reflection on the top right of the magazine cover is mildly distracting, but not nearly enough to detract from the overall scoring of the image.
Composition/Content: Absolutely wonderful for this challenge. You hit the challenge on the nose, meanwhile presenting a issue that faces young girls climbing into maturity. I like it! The placement of the magazine is spot on, as is the placement of your "props." Very nice work.
My Opinion: Personally, I think this one deserved second. While the first two shots in the challenge are nice, my favorite is 5th place, submitted by jaded_youth, followed very closely by this one. Another well-deserved ribbon and top score.
