I chose this photo because as an overall photo it has a large contrast in the colours of the mans clothing compared with the background. This would make it stand out from the other magazines on the shelf. To add to this, the bright lighting is used to enhance these colours further. This then eliminates any chance of shadows if there is lighting from all sides of the man. However, what is not aesthetically pleasing about this photo is the lack of lighting coming the left side of a man, which creates a shadow underneath his right arm. If I were to use this photo then the shadow underneath his right arm would have to be photo shopped.

The mans body language is at a stance that is commonly associated with fighting. This makes the overall image appear energetic, which is what my cover lines for this particular issue are about.
