Hello Bobster welcome to photoholic anomous where your photography bug gets smashed by people who don't know shit about photography and don't take the time to actually look at the work.
I think I understand what you were doing with the lighting in your image by making lust dark and love lighter brighter but I think something seems missing. I think there is a visual element something more that you should have really added to pull the image into something that is more well fulfilling. The negative space does help the image out to much also maybe having an black box completely surrounding love would be big help in defining more space where the lighting gets blown out.
Oh it is those little word magnets how wonderful. You know I kind of like your black specs in the image I wish there was more like them so you could tell or believe it might be a dirty refrigerator the decay of love the corrusion of love and lust! Yes Yes your wild antics are beautiful just more thought and you will have something wonderful work through your problems don't stop make more work expand this ideas!!!!!!!!! |

| Thanks to those that took the time to appreciate this picture. While I know it's not for everyone, I've never received so many unhelpful and ignorant comments on a shot. |

| Hmm... not much of a photo I'm afraid. While the image might be appropriate for this magazine, it's unlikely that any designer would hire a photographer to shoot something so easily rendered by computer. Now print those same words on acetate and shoot them over an interesting background and you might have a winner. |

I don't know, but this seems to be typed words on some paper. If they are those little magnets, there isn't a way for me to tell because the lighting is so flat. The spots all over could have been cloned out for the challenge, unless you are making some statement about how love is dirty business. Sorry to sound so negative. A major headache with digital photos is all the dust on the sensor. OK, maybe you are saying love is pure and lust is dirty, but there has to be a better way to get the point across.
Sorta like one of those ink blot tests? I'm beginning to like this one. Will come back to see the comments. |

| Good simplicity and contrast. I like the dirty look--very journalistic. It's not oriented for a mag cover, but i really like it. 9 |

(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.
Is that fridge magnet poetry? Nice idea, not sure about the contrast editing though
---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. |

| I had a quick look on the internet but couldn't find "poetry magazine". Interesting shot anyhow but I'm marking all "landscape" shots a point lower as I don't believe they fit the challenge parameters. |

| I don't think I would find this cover appealing, looking over a magazine rack. It's not eyecatching, and it's not intriguing. Points for trying something different, but the black "flecks" and the overall shot just really don't appeal to me. |

Your black speckles through this shot are very distracting and very easy to deal with in the advanced editing rules. I'm confused as to why you would leave them in. Overall the shot doesn't have much interest or staying power.
