In Kona Carmack's centerfold (February 1996) she's taken shelter under 
an awning on a rainy day.

This is a centerfold where the whole is less than the sum of the parts. 
Some examples:

If you look just at Kona's face and the way it peeks out from behind the 
awning, it's a lovely shot of a beautiful young woman. In the context of 
the whole centerfold the awning chops off the top, and intrudes where it 
should support.

The bright colors and rain-slicked textures are a change from the usual 
centerfold fare, but they never quite click together. Our eyes are drawn 
to this spot and then this one in a random fashion.

The tilt of Kona's left leg shows why women's legs are worth the time to 
consider carefully, but the pose looks like she has been twisted by 
first one person and then another with no clear vision tying it all 
together. Or maybe she has to go to the potty.

It's not all bad. After all, Kona is the model. There's a nice use of a 
kicker light beside her head and those bright colors add a light and 
festive mood to the picture.
