Wow, guess I don't want to live in the country if I don't get a roof.

Nice colors in the sky and grass. Good detail on the bricks.

Nicely done shot, but I'm left to wonder what this would say on the cover of the magazine..."Come live in the country, our houses fall down"?

I could picture this as a magazine cover, except that magazines almost universally use vertical format shots. I really like the colors and textures; it's almost like a painting.

it might be the perspective, but the building appears as though it is leaning toward the left. i really like the strong greens and blues.

Beautiful scene and colors. Great composition. Seems a little bit tilted to the left (you can tell from the house's wall), but thats ok. I would definitely see this on a magazine. 9

Good luck...

wow, a pristine shot, but I'm confused. Is your subject the building, or the sheep, or the landscape? The building is cropped to tightly, and you have room to the left to eliminate some unnesessary information. Nice work

nice picture but.....

(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.

Ack it's tilted to the left. :( Not more but it's noticable for sure. Otherwise it's really cool. What I really like about this (and which fits the "magazine title" thing) is the how there is green in the bricks of the building which I think fits the theme well and blends in with the green of the pasture.

Good shot! Really great blend of colors.

you've composed this shot well and left that ever-important negative space for text. One of my favorites this challenge.

Nice idea, but how many magazine covers use the landscape format?
03/22/2004 01:02:49 AM
very nice.

Wow! This is an awesome shot. This is top quality and pitch perfect. I'm going to give you a high mark; however, you may find others will mark you down for having a horizontally cropped image instead of a vertically cropped image. IT seemed to be an issue in the last magazine challenge.
