Quite like it. Maybe a levels & WB tweak?

How about creating more chaos with the background mags by having them angled?

Kudos for original thinking. I really like the contradiction both in colour and in angle. But it seems a bit yellowish.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Nice! Nothing says woman more than all those mags. I just hope you didn't find all those on your coffee table

Like the way you have included the center magazine with the old fashioned woman. Barbara

It is great to get feedback from others. Thanks for the comments.

What made this photo interesting to me was the images, headlines, and articles on each magazine. Each one was chosen for the shot because it portrays the media's view of "femininity". Based on these, femininity is mostly about having babies, losing weight, and gaining/losing a man. If I cluttered or jumbled the magazines I feel like this message might be lost.

Then again, if I feel the need to explain what I was trying to do, then it is clear that I failed to do it with the image itself! Live and Learn.

Thanks
