OK, folks, it’s July, and I’m starting to ramp up my focus on this November’s release of Princesses In SPACE!!! (Not the actual title). Lots of exciting stuff to come in the next few months, but we’ll start with this: Help me choose my author photo for the back cover! Vote in comments, or Twitter, or Facebook, or by Morse Code (I can’t vouch that this last option will work).
Here we go! Onward and upward! Zap! Pow!!
Oh, I can't decide between 1 and 3. Must think about it some more but I'm leaning toward 3. I think.
I like #4.
#2 for sure.
3, 2, 4, 1 in that order – 1 is too small unless it's cropped. 2 is spacey with that weird glow, but is OK if that's what you're going for.
I like 3 because you look calm and friendly in that one; there are books in the background; and the film reel frame is a reference to one of your interests.
I dig number 3. It's a nice image of you, no "grumpy resting face" in evidence, books visible in the background, and that analog-film sprocket-hole border is ginchy. 😀
2 or 3 are my favorites.
I would suggest cropping out the sprocket holes in 3.
I also agree that 1 is kind of small, but would work well if cropped tighter. In 4 there's a little bit of an "I just ate a rotten lemon" look going on, I think.
I like #4
STRONGLY prefer 3.
They're all interesting and inventive, but I vote for #3. It just looks right.
2!!! You have the 'thinking man' pose there. 4. Makes you look angry, like "READ MY BOOK or I will fire bomb your house"!!!
