Shot against the picturesque backdrop of Birr, Co. Offaly, Ireland, this winning cover encapsulates a whimsical tale that unfolded during the photo shoot.

In the enchanting realm of imagination, a captivating narrative takes shape. Picture a character named Opinion—graceful, towering, with an ethereal countenance accentuated by pale skin and white eyelashes, reminiscent of petals plucked from a garden of milk. Opinion resides in a vibrant mobile home, surrounded by a kaleidoscope of the most exquisite cabbages, ensuring a perpetual feast.

The plot thickens as Opinion lives in anticipation, the purpose of which remains a mystery until a little girl, bearing puckered lips and wide eyes—a kindred spirit of Opinion—arrives. Clutching flowers larger than herself, the joyous meeting unfolds, marking the convergence of two significant personalities. Their discussions delve into profound matters, from the warmth of the fire to the dispersion of fog, the resonance of laughter, and the orientation of their gazes. As they exchange glances in various directions, laughter echoes across expansive fields.

To their astonishment, another Opinion emerges on the scene, presenting a stark contrast. This Opinion, with a majestic stature moving on all fours, initially instils a sense of trepidation. Undeterred, the two original Opinions set out to tame this formidable presence. Revealing a luscious dark chocolate hue, the newcomer proves to be anything but fearsome. Together, these diverse Opinions find harmony in a stunning cabbage field, where abundance reigns, and the chill of winter never touches them.

This narrative is not just about a captivating magazine cover but also a celebration of the unity and diversity that enriches our creative endeavours. We invite you to join us in relishing this tale, a testament to the beauty that emerges when unique perspectives converge in the pursuit of artistic excellence. Thank you for being a part of this extraordinary journey!
