My 1st draft koi book cover, what do you think?

I spent a lot of time doing this, I just want to know what you all think. Please let me know, what is wrong, what is good? its a bit distorted because of the tranformation


I have 3 1st draft covers.

I like the second one the best. You know, better balance with odd numbers. The three hi stops provide a better look than that of cover #3. No matter how you look at it, 7 is better than 6 and 3 is better than 2 - JMHO

Hi

Why not call it

I work in publishing, and for all hobby books/magazines we produce the word Beginner work much more

Cheers

i like the first one. the eyes give it a more whimsical look. fix the right eye so it's the same size as the left.
