Thank you"
Kim I'm going to say no to that one because I can't see the top at all. It looks warm and colourful on the bottom half but those dresses were often worn off the shoulder.

That second cover is fine.
Would this work for option 4:
Woman on the right is wearing a blood red dress.
Is this outfit bright enough for option 4?

Yes.

thank you
for Option 4:
For option 2, is a drawing of a cat acceptable like
?Are silhouettes acceptable? Like
for option 4, or
for option 2?

Post 1.
All fine apart from
as the dress has virtually no colour.
could also be used as #1Post 2.
All fine apart from
as the dress is sleeveless and
which doesn't have enough bright colour.
could also be used for #1 as there is is some sunlight on her.
Dee wrote: "
- hammock in the sun?"Yes, this is fine.
Christine wrote: "For option 2, is a drawing of a cat acceptable like ?Are silhouettes acceptable? Like

Would this work for Option 3? It's the trojan horse on the cover, top left.
I'm hoping this will work for option 4. It's a small picture, but, she's wearing bright red overalls.
puppitypup wrote: "Would this work for Option 3? It's the trojan horse on the cover, top left."Yes, that's a horse, albeit a wooden one.

I think these are ok, but thought I'd better confirm!Option 1:
Option 2:
Would the bright pants be enough for 50%
? Or maybe
?Or would
work for the sun worship? (Attempting to replace with what I have on hand. lol. Also hoping my second book is better and I only need one of those options to work. lol.)
Thanks!

Option 2:
"I'll allow the first one. I can't see any sunlight on him directly because I'm only seeing his back but by looking at the sunlight on the bench around him he must have it on his face and body; so it fits the meaning of the challenge. Make sure you reference this if you post.
Option 2. is fine.

The first two are ok for clothing colour but Kalahari won't work for sun worship. The woman is in shadow.

Perfect. Two out of three gives me a spare. :D
Would the boy in the back on the right work for Option 4?
The white undershirt and bright, light blue button down.
Thank you!
What about this book for option 4? The sari and jewelry are beautiful and colorful, but her midriff is bare. What do you think?
Mod
and option 4
do these both work

Sorry Cait, white isn't a 'colour' and is specifically mentioned as not being allowed.
I had a good look at the picture but because the blue top is unzipped and exposing so much of the white t-shirt beneath I can't accept this as 50%.
Karen Michele wrote: "What about this book for option 4? The sari and jewelry are beautiful and colorful, but her midriff is bare. What do you think?"Normally a sari is fine as they often have a cloth draped over, but in this case it looks transparent. So, no. Sorry about that.

Will the first book work for option 1? People in sun

Oh I see, sorry I misread your post.
No, the first cover doesn't look like it's actually outside in the sunshine. The light on their bodies and the shadows aren't right. It looks more like they are inside on a background that has been made to look like sand. Her foot for example should be digging into the sand if it was actually real. But, regardless, the light just isn't bright enough.
I think for this task I'll do Option 2 (
) and Option 3 (
). :)
Would this work for option 4? The wellies cover at least 50% of what we can see of her, but I'm not sure that's sufficient.
Honeysuckle Hollow by Jennifer Moorman
As an alternate, would this work?
Nice Girls Don't Date Dead Men by Molly Harper
puppitypup wrote: "Will this work for option 1?
Meant to Be by Terri Osburn"
There's blue sky with sparkling water and they are clearly outside but I can't see any sunlight on them. However, as they aren't undercover and as I can see the sky and the sunlight around them, I will accept it.
puppitypup wrote: "Would this work for option 4? The wellies cover at least 50% of what we can see of her, but I'm not sure that's sufficient.[book:Honeysuckle Hollow|251312..."
Both of those don't quite make it.
For the first one the gumboots are lovely and bright but shoes don't count as 'clothes' and although the blue jeans would be considered 50% they are covered over at the top by the coat.
For the second, again it's a lovely pink top but it's unbuttoned and she is wearing a white top underneath. As I can't see what she's wearing on the bottom I can't tell if it would be 50% or not.

The Hob's Bargain by Patricia Briggs"
Yes, it's a horse.
Cindy C.The girl is wearing a green sweater on the cover. Is it bright enough?
Please Ignore Vera Dietz
Hi, does this work for option 4?
Thanks!

"Yes, that's fine.

It looks a fair amount like a summer dress but due to the strange background I can't say for sure. I'll allow this one.

Thank you!
I am guessing that Kitty and the Midnight Hour would not work for option two being that it seems to be the main character's name?
Morgan wrote: "I am guessing that Kitty and the Midnight Hour would not work for option two being that it seems to be the main character's name?"That is correct
Would this work for Option 1? Sun looks like it is setting, but still sun is out. Thanks in advance. 
Tara Jo wrote: "Would this work for Option 1? Sun looks like it is setting, but still sun is out. Thanks in advance. "No, it's not bright enough.
Thanks...can you clarify if the SUN isn't bright enough, or the surrounding sky isn't bright enough? I'm guessing you mean the sky, but just want to confirm as the brightness of the sun seems more than on some others that were approved. Just trying to make sure what I need to look for more. Thanks for clarifying.
ETA...I think this may be a better choice? Does this one work?
Thanks...sorry..didn't think this one would be challenging to find!!

In that light it does look too dark.
