It was really hard separating between the winners in this one, they were all so good!

honorable mention || nazahace

commentary ; I really like the overlays you used in this cover, especially the flower petals along with the color choice. All of it works very well together along with how clear/contrasted the lettering is against the background. The critique I'd say is just to make sure it matches more with the theme, as this seems more happy-ish (if that makes sense??)

third place || JustMyAwesomeSelf

commentary ; I really enjoy the simplicity of this cover and how your picture choice matches the prompt. I also really like your text choice, and how it all matches well throughout. The critique I'd have is maybe include shading behind the text. Since the text does overlay parts of the photo that change in color-tone or brightness, this could add a bit of pop.

second place || SARCASTICIGIRL

commentary ; I love the way you structured this cover especially with the use of the face claim. The subtleness of the shadow behind her is also a very nice touch, and overall I love how clear and well blended the entire this is. My only critique is that it seems like more of a ~mystery~ type cover, which doesn't quite match with the prompt, but otherwise, good job!

first place || RedRibbon30

commentary ; I really love how well this cover is put together. With the continuity of the same color pallet plus the overlay really makes it eye-catching if it were on an actual book. I also really love how you blended in the face claim in the cover :) My critique would be that at first, I didn't notice that the face claim was in here, I just kind of thought it was a yellow blob of something before it became clear, so watch out for that. But nevertheless, congrats!
