Quite a scene. A little washed out by the distance. I'd love to see this from the side, with the lighthouse framed by the sky.

Dramatic island, but the photo comes out sort of flat... You loose the lighthouse. But still, seems lika a really cool place...

A beautiful photo, but magazines are almost always vertical in format. This shot does have the other requirement-a place where type could go without spoiling it.

Great composition. The island has an interesting shape and a nice variety of textures. It's a bit washed out; a polarizer may have helped when taking the photo, but adjusting levels would improve it some. And some sharpening would bring out the nice textures.

A bit more contrast would help.

seems a little hazy, maybe a polarizer would have improved it a little.
Nice picture.

An awsome perspective...Though I noticed that the magazine uses a verticle format for their cover photos's

The porportions don'rt work for a magazine cover. Maybe off centering the rock outcropping and sowing more water would help or a tighter shot of the light house.

Seems like the contrast could have been boosted a little more. I like how it is so isolated. Nice Composition, although I wonder what it would look like in different points (the corners are almost identical)/ nice shot

(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.

wow. Wish I was there! Only thing is that it seems a bit hazy.

Doesn't look real. What ever you did, was wrong. :) It's tempting to select a certain portion of an image and then go crazy with adjustments, but this a clear example of what NOT to do when fixing your images in PS.

whereis this...pretty neat!

Interesting image. Colors could be more saturated. Maybe more contrast.

It' s a beautiful subject. The photo itslef looks a bit washed (and I mean I am nitpicking bit, not a noticable bit), likely the result of the distance between you and the island. A little tweeking of the levels may have pulled more out of it.

This reminds me of a place I visited many years ago called the "Bass Rock".
Nice image..would like to have seen it from close up.
