my favorite cover

"Just before her intimate photos were hacked--and splashed across the Web--Jennifer Lawrence posed topless for Patrick Demarchelier for the cover of Vanity Fair's November issue. As part of the accompanying cover story, she decided to break her silence about one of the biggest scandals in Hollywood this year. The Guardian called her salvo "the end of the 'shamed starlet.'" So strong was the outpouring of social-media support for Lawrence's stance that The New York Times reported on the fact "fans took to Twitter to applaud her." Demarchelier's striking photos of the Hunger Games actress also helped spark a thoughtful debate about a woman's right to reveal her body. Lawrence (and the V.F. cover) made her message loud and clear: "It's my body, and it should be my choice." 

I think the cover is great because the first thing I notice is nudity with a subtle touch of decency because of the necklace. It adds a certain classiness to the photo which goes along perfectly with who Jennifer Lawrence really is. I also like how the foreground pops from the background. I think that there could have been more of a contrast, but I think it pops enough. I also think that the reflection of the water could have been either more of a background thing instead of it just being there, or it could have been more reflective. I think the quote included in the photo correctly illustrates what the quote (included) by Lawrence means. She fights for women's rights and being able to express herself without being considered a sexual object. I think the photo is doing justice to what she is trying to say.
