The image I'm about to post is a special image. A good friend of mine is self-publishing her book, so several months ago she commissioned me to do the cover. Another friend of ours had already completed the basic modeling, but I needed to change the color, change the shading, and add a silhouette of a person.
I didn't feel up to the task, but I spent hours and hours and hours on end working on it over the next six months. I went through at least five different versions of it. Finally I had it done, and she loved it, and everyone I know loved it. However... I'm not happy with it. At all. So I wanted to know what all of you A-Uers think, because most of you can totally blow me out of the water when it comes to graphic-making skills.

I'd muchly appreciate it if anyone takes the time to look at this and even just write a short comment.

I love it!
I really like how the eye with the person standing in it stands out so nicely!
Although.. I am curious as to where you are wanting to put the title.

Wow! I think it looks great- it would definitely stand out in a crowd of books! lol The eye looks alive, like it's going to move at any second.

Thanks so much for all the comments; you all are seriously boosting my confidence in this picture. *hugs all* 
smeag: the text is (I believe) going to be separate from the picture. I'll have to ask my friend about that...

I think for a book cover, that is very eye-catching and bold. I would definitely pick up a book with a cover like that - and I am picky about my book covers  lol. The only suggestion I have is possibly making the shadow-person a little sharper
