Over at Tor.com i started a thread on the community section of the site. It's a really interesting discussion on what you want in your book cover art. I know that Irene Gallo has had a peek at it(thanks Tara!) as she posted a link to it from her blog(www.igallo.blogspot.com) so this is a nice forum to speak to book art issues with the best people in the field.
