Much along the line of the "Showdown" I'm going to post two covers that I've done and let you pick which one you think is the best....
After a fashion I might be brave enough to even face off one of mine against a real Gordon Lightfoot cover (Wait and see...)

First...If You Could read My Mind...

I'm ever so slightly partial to "If You Could Read My Mind". Less than a full point. ;)

Don Quixote. I especially like the silhouettes of Don Q. and Sancho Panza. Great composition!

Oooh, this is a tough one since I really like them both, but I'm going to have to go with Don Q.

DQ - the brave warrior on the horse topped my vote.

DQ -- with the exception I find it slightly unnerving that the lance that DQ is holding is going through Gord's eye!!!

I read that as Gord 'visualing' Don Q. I love this cover.

Don Quixote, but the same objection as Sheryl, and even that green bar, maybe if it was lighter. Just a taught, you will do with it what you please. Both good but, Don Quixote...

I think I'll give this until after this weekend for people to vote. Then I'll declare a winner...

OK OK zoneranger you asked for It Most definitely the DQ.
i am sorry but your IYCRMM does very little for me.I do not like either the colouring or choice of Gord's picture and for once your choice of typefaces/fonts what-have-you is less than inspiring IMHO.and where are the castle, the chains*** and the ghost???
By comparison I offer you the chance to see the relevant quilt square delightfully created by arch-quilter Jenney from this parish in 2000 for the magnificent wedding quilt that she orchestrated and put together with help from "sundown 17" young Diane

*** OK I expect Jenney realised that she put the chain around the poor ghost's neck whereas it should have been his feet!! No doubt she will plead "artistic licence"!!

Not to mention expert Lightfoot stalker. To see her in action is a joy to behold

I think it is Jenney with the extra "e" in hono(u)r of a previous generation's surname

They are easier to see on the full sized actual quilt square but
Bru even included her trademark silverheels on the sail
