Sample photo for front cover 2

After asking my target audience what they think of this 2ndphoto I am sure i am not going to take this image further by using the model again or the style of this photo. with my friends opinions and my own, i have come to the conclusion that this photo is too 'pretty' for the genre of music magazine i am going for, this photo will just not attract the audience i am looking for and the photo has no personality to it or 'pazaz', as one of my friends who fits in my target audience told me. I now am going to stick away from photos with outdoor lighting and high white balances. I have now to take some photos with darker balances, maybe using black and white or taking photos in a dark room with a good quality flash. i am quite adament on my main photo for my cover to be quirky, eye-catching and intresting so that my audience will want to read more into the magazine.
