Damn Paparazzi again :p

I'm sure glad those "Occupy Wallstreeters" got everything fixed

Nice work

I agree with the black & white - or maybe even to desaturate more to make more noir-ish Your pic is awesome & I love the overall feeling of the photo & lovely clothes and model. Well done.

Awesome pic. She looks like she belongs in an old school gangster movie. Good job author.

Thinking outside the box, We will let the mod decide if it's too far outside the box. Neat idea, just wish you had got the model sharp too.

have a look at the article as suggested in the goal;

all the covers there are in front of something, making it seem part of the background.The flower one does that too, perhaps not brilliantly, but it does incorporate the background.
You photo has only added something to the top of the cover. I hope this explains my thinking.
