Here is the unedited photo that I intend to use. The bright lighting in the background not only gives the subject an angelic feel but gives connotations of happiness and good. These connotations could represent how the students feel in the school. The composition of the photo is good, the tree on the left provides a natural frame whilst keeping to the rule of thirds. The framing of the shot gets the subject,his book and bright light over his shoulder in shot. The angle of which the subject faces makes the image natural and aesthetic. The person is stylish wearing casual clothing and a fashionable bag, this makes him act as a model even though he is a student and in a school environment. He is leaning back on the tree with his hand in his pocket almost making him iconic showing that work is "cool". Overall this image contains many micro elements to create a macro sum (verisimilitude) of a positive front cover for a sixth form magazine.
Here is the edited version of the image. Using Photoshop I enhanced the colours and saturation and sharpened the image. I also cropped picture to make it a mid shot which is the conventional shot used for magazine covers. I carefully adjusted the levels and contrast to improve the image as much as possible.
