    Photo For Book Cover?

    I'm in search for a new cover photo for my next fiction Novella* and wanted something more action oriented than the last one. The pic attached is really cool I thought as an example, but I don't own that pic and didn't take it, so can't use it. Just there as an example.

    Does anyone have a similar picture, or other they think would fit they want to donate or charge a small fee for? I know we have a lot of people here who seem adept at taking cool pics that might work. You have to own it/have right to it, and it's has to be a large enough/quality pic.

    You might be better off commissioning the cover photo. Or at least buying it from a legitimate seller of photo stock. Lawyers are everywhere. It's always less expensive to pay them before you need them.

    I have access to various pics or can buy them yes or have the cover produced etc. But some times people take some great pics they own and took personally that breaks no copy rights of any kind they might get a kick out of seeing used for the cover of a book and or charge a small fee.

    Is this the action genre you were considering?

    Google photo search "dsully composite photo". Does great action shots. You could probably commission a custom photo at reasonable cost. He has a thread over on WEVO.
    The beasts of modernism have mutated into the beasts of postmodernism—relativism into nihilism, amorality into immorality, irrationality into insanity, sexual deviancy into polymorphous perversity. And since then, generations of intelligent students under the guidance of their enlightened professors have looked into the abyss, have contemplated those beasts, and have said, “How interesting, how exciting.”

    —Gertrude Himmelfarb, On Looking into the Abyss (1994)
