Her hair looks like it is up not around her in water...so maybe have her hair all around her not just up and away from her (does that make sense?) I'm excited to see the final cover.

The added action of being underwater doesn't depart from the other two covers much while still giving the cover an enticing appeal all on its own.<br /><br />The first is artistically expressive but not action forward (as in "here's some action, open the book to find out what it is), while the third option is done all the time. As a top-shelf indie (yes, I call you that) you have the latitude to jazz it up. <br /><br />I find covers like #3 a bit sexless and something designed in committee.Lucas Darrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01405530729663443670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14317779362944180.post-10466968482846056842013-05-15T16:59:23.019-06:002013-05-15T16:59:23.019-06:00The first one works well.

Kind of tortured.<br /><br />If you want full-body with a visible pendant, you can use foreshortening. The camera is looking straight down into the water and the pendant is pulling the figure up toward us. <br /><br />It will be much less portrait-like than the other covers, though.<br /><br />Marketing question: what's more important: a cover that says "part of this series" or a cover that dynamically illustrates a moment from, or a theme from the book?
