| Colors are a bit washed, but sure, this is a great shot for NG! Very nice capture and composition/cropping. Lighting is nice, too. |

| Very nice image. Seems like a NG cover to me! Color seems a little low (increase the saturation a touch or two), but not bad. Focus seems pretty good. Compositionally - I think I've seen NG covers that looked pretty near to this, good work!!! 9 Rob the Swash |

| Of all the Natioanl Geographic covers here, yours is the one that feels most appropriate. It's a pity it's slightly out of focus. Nice job otherwise. |

| Totally hit the spot ... I can absolutely see this on the cover of a magazine. As a photo, evokes a lot of emotion, which is good, plus is well executed. I wouldn't be surprised if you got a ribbon for this one ... (10) |

Very much the right style for the magazine. I think this is an excellent image in many ways. Great eye contact and wonderful emotional connection with the subjects.
Feels cropped a little too tight at the bottom - I'd like to see all of her arm/ hand in the shot.
The strong highlight on her nose is also a little distracting.

| I wouldn't have used National Geographic for this title. I think Life would've been a more suitable choice. A pretty nice photo aside from being a little soft |

| I think you have made one of the best cover shots for NG during this challenge. The background is not too busy, the expression on your subjects is very 'NG-like'. The only thing missing is the cover text :). Definitely a 10! |

| Nice work with the border =). It would have been nice to have something other than the ground in the back to give a stronger context for the picture. |

| Perfect. Just perfect. I love the angle and framing/cropping. The focus and clarity are really good, and lighting is nice as well. Great shot for the NG. If I had to make a suggestion it would be to have included the rest of the girls arm at the bottom, but not absolutely needed. great shot. |

| some parts of the ladies face is a little bit white areas. IMO maybe image would be better if you crop below her right hand and fill up frame more with their heads. = 4 |

| This is my favorite shot in the entire competition because it actually LOOKS like a National Geographic magazine cover! The only detraction for me is the soft focus, but it still gets a 9 from me. Congratulations - it's wonderful. |

| NGMish photo but lacks the NGM look ... Levels adjustment, .9 Gamma and +10 saturation across the board would have done wonders for this photo, IMHO. |

| This definately looks like a National Geographic Magazine cover. I would like to know who these kids are. Are you sure that they weren't already on a magazine cover? :-) |

| It's too bad the subject looks slightly out of focus, this really could have been great. I like the subject here, could definitely fit on National Geographic, although I feel shooting down was not the best way to capture this... I think that getting down and shooting up might have been more effectual for this shot. Just my opinion though. Great subject for the challenge. |

| Photos is a bit overexposed. There isn't room at the top for the magazine title. Otherwise the photo is very good. |

| It really does look like an issue of National Geographic! Seems like there's just a teeny bit too much headroom here, but it's a great shot. |
