I have to admit this week’s photo challenge, “Cover Art”, had me stumped. I was getting ready to come up with a post on a completely different subject when I realized that my new book, Selfies ala Magritte, would be perfect for this challenge. You can help me choose which photo should go on the cover. It’s not on Amazon yet, but I’ll let you know when it’s available to order. And here’s a link to more Magritte images.
Just kidding about the book, but here are the photos and have a great weekend!
Brings a new meaning to the phrase “the eyes are the windows to the soul”😄
Oooh, Sandra, wish I’d thought of that! Have a great weekend.

Janet,
My first reaction was definitely the second photo. Then I read the comment above about eyes as window to the soul… that totally cinched the choice.
Seems you now have the cover photo and the title…
If you change your mind and go with this idea 😉

I’ll have to open it up to all the other photo challenge participants for Magritte-style selfies. 🙂

The first one hides to much of your face for me, but I love the second, brilliant!
Thanks, Gilly. Some of Magritte’s don’t even have faces, so I figured either would work. Enjoy the weekend!
janet
I know but Magritte didn’t generally use a photo of you 🙂 Hope you get some sunshine this weekend too!
Looks like it’s going to be a lovely weekend. In fact, the entire week’s been filled with lovely autumn weather although when I walked in the park yesterday morning, there was frost and I got some great shots!
And I totally bought the book part 🙂 I like the first pic, kind of abstract.
Thanks. I’ll let you know when the book’s out and even autograph your copy. 🙂
janet
i’ll hold you to it. waiting in line…
Second one for me!
Thanks for visiting and weighing in, Sue.

If you change your mind about the book I would go with the second shot.
🙂 Thanks, Dawn. Hope you have a great weekend.

these are both great compositions!
Great works of art. Looks like something out of a science fiction novel. The first one appeals to me. 😍💕
I really like the…surreality and style of the first one, Janet. Original choices!
NIce shots and I totally love Magritte. Surrealism has always fascinated me.
I just remembered that I’ve also posted something related to Magritte: http://cardinalguzman.wordpress.com/2013/03/12/ceci-nest-pas-une-pipe/
I think the first image is better, it is interesting, but the more I look at it, I think it is a little busy, so I am going to go with the second image for your book. In that, I feel you are almost real! 🙂
I’m torn between the two as I like the colors and look of the partial face in the first, but I also like the second. Guess that’s why I posted both. 🙂
Have a great weekend.

Such lovely photographs. Light playing hide and seek with its charm. 🙂
Thanks, Suyash. I appreciate your visit and comment.

Tina, that’s the one I like, too. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great week.
