Contest [72 Hours] - $25 ebook cover contest - Elijah In Centerfield: A Sandlot of Dreams

Greetings graphical gurus,

I'm back with another cover contest and greatly appreciate all who have submitted designs on my previous titles.

Once again, I'm looking for a simple but powerful cover design for a book we are publishing as an ebook - Note: although this is an ebook, I don't want a 3D image, I need a flat image (jpg) exactly 600 (w) x 800 (h).

The title is: Elijah In Centerfield
Subtitle: A Sandlot of Dreams
Author: Keith LeMar Anderson

You can use one of the images below. Upon award of this design, I'll send you the actual purchased image.

Recommendation: Do your best to make it look good & readable even as a small thumbnail (think Amazon).

Thanks in advance for your creativity and skill. I truly admire the work that you all can do!
-Brian

If there's another way to indicate when a contest is closed & a winner was paid, please let me know - otherwise, I'll use the 'reply to thread' comment tool once a winner has been awarded.

Thanks,
Brian

That's my entry, and this is the book as a thumbnail. I think it's still plenty readable.
