This was taken on one of the lakes in my community in Florida. The Wildlife Conservation Society is an organization I've supported for years. They do so much to conserve wildlife throughout the world as well as oversee the operations of the world famous "Bronx Zoo" aka "Wildlife Conservation Park" and other Zoos and an aquarium. I've seen, first hand, the great work they do. I encourage you to take a look at their website to learn more. It is a wonderful organization.
Here is a link to an essay I wrote about The Bronx Zoo. It's a quick read.

Beautiful shot! The bird seems a tad overly sharp, but I like this image so very much. Love the color. Nice amount of open spaces for type (nit, but worth commenting). A tad faster exposure might have stopped the leg motion. Still, I love this, so 10 - Rob the Swash
This is a nice photo and very appropriate for your magazine cover. The placement of the subject allows for the magazine title and article blurbs. As far as the photo itself is concerned, I particularly like the ripples of the water toward the top of the page.
This is a great cover for your magazine. The ripples on the water are nice. However, the bird seems a little blurred. I would have liked to see better detail. Perhaps this was taken a little far away. 8 Good luck in the challenge.
Beautiful image, but I'd worry that the contrast of light and dark in the water would make putting type on the page very difficult, as a magazine cover.
