After reading that comment, I backed this out to thumbnail size … now I have seen the duck. Not as life-changing as having seen the elephant, but amusing none the less.
I was looking at this cover with a 19″ diagonal flat screen monitor; I usually back off to 25% to see if a cover works in the thumbnail size that folks see browsing book ads especially on hand-held devices. I was puzzled by Tuula’s duck comment on this’un, until I backed off to a thumbnail view.
Artist or author: if you want to sell books on the internet, please look at the thumbnail preview and check off:
_ Can you read the title? OK.
_ Can you read the author name? OK.
_ Does the face look like a duck? Ooops.
Something about this unique look appeals to me. It certainly doesn’t fit a thriller, but if it were a book of poetry, for example, where that cover image might make sense for the content, this could be salvaged.

The duck is staring at me. Oh, wait…
