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
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!
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.
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.
