Ja jy't my gewen! Ek het nie hierdie keer gestem nie. Te besig en te kwaad vir sommige van die onnosel se kommentaar. Ek hou nog steeds van hierdie geboue. Eendag as my skeep in kom...

Grapes of Wrath

WD Susan. Great image and live I love the backstory. The only Top Ten image actually done in a Portrait Orientation that is usable for a Novel Cover where any edit would harm the overall composition or feel. No one appeared to pick up on this small overlooked criterion in this challenge. Novels/Paperbacks are taller than wider!

Has to be a Cuttooth! Painted sky and obedient boats :) Should do well, despite the literal DPCers needing (the lacking) Sun...

The Snows of Kilimanjaro, by Ernest Hemingway

Congrats on your 6.x Richard! I feel that the some comments and low votes however were particularly insensitive and very judgemental. Sure; art, subjective, opinions, but book covers are seldom 100% accurate to the content within. There's a saying "Do not judge a book by it's cover" for a reason. So what if it's not Kilimanjaro, after all it's not a geography book or encyclopaedia challenge, it's a Novel challenge. Personally I'd have knocked off a point because it's not in portrait orientation...as demanded by the cover of a novel. This would have solved the grass issue :) Sadly I could note vote to make up for the trolls:

"A Prayer for Owen Meany"

Congrats on your high mark Damian. Certainly an emotional and thoughtful image with much loved DPC drama... Had I voted (Team Mate image) I'd easily have hit the 7 mark. An 8 if classic B&W rather than the purple/pink taint. A 4? Bah!

The House of the Seven Gables

Congrats on your HM Wendy. Interesting how one commenter commends the lighting and another points out the shadows vs the source of its light as being incorrect. One voter calls out what he believes technical flaws yet votes a 7 where others would have started with a 5 and deducted 2 to be left with a 3. Posthumous comment seems to me to hold more positive than negative, yet settles on a 4. I'll never get these voting patterns :)

Millie velde. Free State beauty. Love the flowing carpet to the right of the mountain ranges. Just so much to see no matter where you turn. You might battle after the rain to keep getting those browns!

Lovely silhouette and golden African sky. Blesbok? Tsessebe?
