Love the lavender dress. Definetly your signature color!

I like the cover a lot- I just really hope they color correct it because she looks jaundiced – and he doesn’t. I’m sure they will though 🙂

I’ve asked them to work on her eyes—to make them green (because it’s Julia, not Charlotte) and to tone town the eyeliner. The rest, I’ll leave up to them.

That’s what it is! There was something else that was bothering me – I didn’t trust her eyes- its the eyeliner. I didn’t want to say that though because I really do like the format and the art behind it and didn’t want to sound overly negative.

The pic is lovely. I agree on the eyeliner. And the guy…ahum! Whew and what-not! 😉 Gorgeous cover, as usual!!!

I absolutely agree on her eyeliner and eye color! Good call.
It’s probably too late to say this, so forgive me for thinking out loud. The male, although he is very handsome, seems a little like an afterthought at that angle in the corner. He’s almost her size, but not quite, so the perspective seems off. If they could pull him back a bit in size, the angle of his gaze might make more sense (more distance would be created), as well as where his hat hits in perspective to the top of her head. Just a thought. 🙂

It is a lovely cover, Kaye. It must be so exciting getting to see it. Are there any room for adjustments at this point? I have a few suggestions. The thing for me is that with the man being so close to her size I can see a drastic difference in their eyes. His are real. Her eye’s are flat, color filled – no texture. Even if the color is changed, the result will be similar. I think perhaps her gloves should be white like they were on Ransome’s Honor, it would strike a nice balance with his white cravat. This may be just a problem for me since I am used to using graphics programs and can easily see when someone just auto fills in colors. That’s my two cents, and probably not even worth that much.
