Semi photorealistic looking character - check, awkward pose - check, bland background - check, awful typography (that bevel-like effect on the font, ugh) - check. Mark, I know authors don't have a lot to say in those matters but couldn't you at least ask them to work for more than 15 minutes on this? The art itself isn't bad, but everything else on this cover works against it...
