One reason why this is a possible option for my music magazine cover is that it well positioned and well balanced with the guitar on the left side of the photograph and my model on the right. There is similar background space free.However, there are five disadvantages of the photograph. Firstly, a bit of the handrail is shown, this can be improved by making the image a bit bigger until the handrail is not visible. Secondly, lighting is shown on the guitar. Thirdly, the guitar itself looks like it would attract the audience more than the model, the model is the main focus of the main image, the guitar is only used to identify the genre of the magazine.
