Sorry Fran - that's getting a bit too casual. If he had a suit jacket in his hand, I'd say yes.

[Fran, Moderator]

Ok no problem Jane, thanks!

[Kayleigh]

Hi Jane. Does this work?

I'll allow this Kayleigh since he's mostly wearing the suit ;)

We have big storms rattling around, so if I'm late posting week 7 in the morning it could be our electricity has been cut. But hopefully that is only a very outside chance!

Hi Jane!

Checking to see if these work-

(looks like a moon on cover and a darkish night sky)
(looks like lights in sky in the window, street lamp on)

Thanks Jane!

Hi Fran - Yes to the first - looks like an evening sky

No to the second - they look like snow flakes outside :)

Hi Jane will this cover work?

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Yep - there are bats & lightening on the cover and its fairly dark, so it must be set against a 'night sky' :)

Hi Alyssa - I'm on the fence for this one, but the editions in Arabic and Spanish definitely work. Use one of them to qualify :)

Alright ! Thank you so much for your reply :)

[Michaele]

Would this work for night sky? To twilighty?

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Michaele wrote: "Would this work for night sky? To twilighty? "

I'll allow that one :)

[Kat]

I didn’t ask, but I think this qualifies ? Six Graves

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Kat wrote: "I didn’t ask, but I think this qualifies ? Six Graves"

I'm so sorry Kat, I'm going to say no. I've looked at this trying to justify a 'night sky' but there are no stars in the sky, only some lights on in buildings. This could be just a bleak day and in fact, that's what it looks like to me.

Hopefully you can find another good book to read. There are still another 3 weeks left in the challenge :)

[R~wka]

Is this cover OK?

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

R~wka wrote: "Is this cover OK? "

Yup.

(Sorry I hadn't seen this earlier!)

[LaurLa]

Jane - will you accept this for night sky? The trees behind him are set against what looks like dark blue sky to me?



Or this one? Can't decide it it's sunrise or sunset... my first reaction was sunset but I don't...

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

I'll try to get around all the threads today. Apologies that I haven't made it in there lately :) Life has been busy, topped off with a small migraine. But all good now!

First one yes, Second one no :)

[☘KathyD☘]

hi Jane...does this qualify for this week's task?

[Iliana]

Hey, Jane the category says other colors must tone in, does that means the cover cannot only be black and white.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

☘KathyD☘ wrote: "hi Jane...does this qualify for this week's task?

Yes. That works!

(I'll add the brown tones to the task)

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Iliana wrote: "Hey, Jane the category says other colors must tone in, does that means the cover cannot only be black and white."

No. It can be any combo of black, grey, white etc. I'm just allowing other 'toning colours' and a very limited amount of bright.

What if the bright is the title only?

MN Lisa wrote: "Jane (PS) wrote: "a very limited amount of bright."

"

Yes - I thought that colored titles might pop up. That's why I added the bit of a spot. This is more than a spot, but it doesn't dominate, so all good :)

I'll take out the extremely limited element in my task so that this sort of cover works. (My brain is still waking up and making sense of how to communicate my thoughts!)

[Iliana]

Would this work or is there too much coloring in the title?

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

As above, if you aren't sure please post here and I'll try to get an answer back quickly but hopefully these earlier examples will show you want is needed...

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Iliana wrote: "Would this work or is there too much coloring in the title?

Its borderline, but it does tone through in its own way and it is the title :)
