IMO it would be perfect if the background could be a bit more focused.<br /><br />Thank you for asking our opinion!<br /><br />Ciao<br /><br />Antonella (going to be one of your readers soon ;-)Antonellanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172600568883405670.post-25925805915105052352010-10-23T21:17:27.382-07:002010-10-23T21:17:27.382-07:00A perfect pec hardly hurts a cover, but it's m...A perfect pec hardly hurts a cover, but it's my least favorite. I like the third one for the half wing, but the background is too muted to generate the interest the second cover's background does. I'll vote for #2 as well.Keith Pyeatt, author of paranormal thrillershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02823860449145957932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172600568883405670.post-9278521443960125972010-10-23T18:08:16.759-07:002010-10-23T18:08:16.759-07:00They are all lovely, but I also like cover #2 the ...They are all lovely, but I also like cover #2 the best. I like the color values, which are a little melancholy and a lot mysterious. Of course, it sort of depends on what the book is about which cover suits the best!Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485550785605236956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172600568883405670.post-62168661761902339812010-10-23T18:08:14.952-07:002010-10-23T18:08:14.952-07:00They are all lovely, but I also like cover #2 the ...They are all lovely, but I also like cover #2 the best.

The phallic symbol in the uppper left conveys the gay thing in a nice subtle manner, and I think the buffed young guy in cover #1 is overkill.whabbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02835582600900388168noreply@blogger.com
