| Hmm... the crocus is the focus- the dog isn't even paying attention. Sort of like shooting the back of my kid's head for Parents magazine. Pet photos CAN do well here, but you'd need an amazing pose, or dramatic lighting or at least a closeup of the dog's face to succeed. |

| Let's see his/her face next time! I would expect to more fully see the subject on the cover of a magazine. |

| I'm sorry but this just looks like a snap to me with little thought about the placement of the magazine title and features text . I had a quick look on the net and it seems that the dogs face on the cover of the magazine is pretty much mandatory. |

| This is a cute shot. To me it would be more effective if the dog were in better focus. The grass seems to be in better focus than the dog. It looks like the dog is smelling the flower. |

| I would think that for Dog World, a cover photo would either show the dog's face, or have a dog performing some dramatic "action". This photo does neither. |

| sorry, very bad picture, focus is behind the dog not on the dog, head is down, can't recognise the type of dog, composition is bang in the middle, not making it more interesting. Exposure is fine. Can't see this on any cover. |

(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. |

| Nice idea, but how many magazine covers use the landscape format? |
