RE: Which Photo Should I Use For My Book? (Options in both Colour and B&W)
The thinker pose, picture number 1, looks most like a writer ... although I am not sure what to make of the person dancing in your hair on that painting on the wall.
The figure dancing in your would be fun for an imaginative work.
Another big question is: Who painted the picture in the background and is is copyrighted? Silly but you might end up in a copyright law suit if a good chunk of a copyrighted picture is in the cover art. So the second to last picture is probably the safest picture.
It was my grandfather, my mother's father, Francziszek Szpak, who painted it. I think I'm good for copyright since his children and grandchildren have inherited the rights.
Thanks for the feedback. I had not noticed the bonhomme from the painting on my head. It does look strange, now that my attention has been brought to it ;) This is what feedback is for.
When was the picture painted?
Anyway, since you have a familial connection to the art work, I would go with the second image as it balances your image with the painting.
I think he did that one when I was in elementary school. Long before he went senile. He passed away in 2000. Lived 100 years. My other grandfather used to paint too and sometimes I have one of his paintings in the background of some of my videos.
Thanks for the feedback :)
