Hier’s nog ‘n ding… ek het nog alteid die iedee gehad vir my eerste boek se omslag, ‘n Cessna 172 laag bo die boomtoppe in die son-op… nou daar’s nog ‘n voorblad foto vir julle om to soek!! Dankie!! 😉
Jy moet kyk of jy die dokumentere reeks “Bush Pilots” daar kan opspoor AJ, dit gaan oor n klompie jongmense wat tussen die lodges in Botswana vlieg – jy sal baie sulke “scenes” daarin sien!
Mens jy maak my benoud… so sabbatsverlof is net vir ryk mense… netnou moet ek help betaal. Julle het reeds ongelooflike mooi foto’s dat julle moeilik sal kan kies. Jy moet ‘n oulike slim uitgewer kry?
haha – I think that my photographs are not good enough for a real wildlife illustrated book… but funny enough, I always thought about doing a good wildlife guide of Kruger National Park in German… but for that I would have to travel there once again… 🙂 and I really don’t want to compete with you – I think it will be much better if your write that book with your experience!! so once again: do it!! 🙂
Interestingly, the German market is our biggest international source of visitors to the national park system, so you’d definitely have a market for your German guide to Kruger!
Oh yes! You have so many magnificent photos to showcase!!!
The photo selections create a welcoming entrance to the park book’s cover.
I suggest exploring different font styles/placement.. I would like the print to be crisper and easier to read at a glance.Yellow is not easily read. When using color fonts, look into which colors might pose problems for folks who are color-blind… I think yellow may be one in the range that causes difficulty… but don’t quote me on that.
I hope you will publish a book someday… it will be stunning ❤
Jane
Thanks for the thoughtful and encouraging contribution Jane!
Funny you should mention the colour-blindness thing; had I not been a “sufferer” I might have chosen a different colour all together. Better to leave that to the experts when the day does come 😉
The 3rd has such a dreamy quality to it!
Thank you Vee!
Beautiful cover art! I love these three captures. 109 likes, Wow! 🙂
I almost missed this one 😕
Thanks Amy! We’re very glad you find it 😀 .

Aha!! Goed, ek sal so maak… sou beter wees as dit een van julle fotos was!!
Ons sal op die uitkyk wees 😉

Sure AJ, why not 😉

I believe this will become a reality for you, and it will be well deserved:)
Oh Lisa, thank you very much!
Great! I’ve been there and can very well imagine this dream of yours… (that hopefully will become reality one day!)
Thank you very much for the kind wishes Noortje! We hope you”ll visit South Africa again, and perhaps our paths will cross in Kruger!
Ek hou van hierdie idee! Al die foto’s is pragtig!
Baie dankie vir die gawe woorde en ondersteuning Aletta!
Jippy … ek kan nie wag nie
Eendag Tina, eendag 😉
Eis daar nie vir eers plek vir ‘n e-boek nie… is dit nie goedkoper nie – of miskien soek mense net storieboeke
Miskien moet ons n sabbatsverlof vat, n karavaantjie Shingwedzi toe trek en n begin gaan maak met die boek. Gee jy vir ons toestemming Tina?
Mens jy maak my benoud… so sabbatsverlof is net vir ryk mense… netnou moet ek help betaal. Julle het reeds ongelooflike mooi foto’s dat julle moeilik sal kan kies. Jy moet ‘n oulike slim uitgewer kry?
My eerste onderhoudsversoek is al klaar in die pos Tina! Maar ek dink die PK staak nog, so jy het tyd om bymekaar te maak 😉
Baie dankie vir jou ondersteuning, regtig. Ek stem saam, met n goeie uitgewer se raad en bystand, kry ons dalk net die ding gedoen!
Jy maak my vreeslik nuuskierig… Ek weet nou nie van die geld nie – maar ek sal die eerste kopie beslis koop!
awesome as alwayz 🙂
Thank you Q!

Oh, gosh, don’t ask me to choose a favorite. I love all three of these! 🙂
Thank you Linda 😀
do it!! 🙂
Thanks for the encouraging “push” Matthias!
I hope you’ll also consider doing a book about the world’s wildlife and the places they call home?

These are all beautiful photos…I wouldn’t be able to choose a favourite.
Thanks Carol 😀

From what I’ve seen on your blog, I’d consider you the leading experts of KNP! 🙂
Lindy
Thanks Lindy! Trying not to sound like I have a big head about it, but I think I may know Kruger better than my own neighbourhood 😉
This would be a super book but I’d like to see one of shots of animals. You do them so well!
janet
Thanks Janet, we’ll keep that in mind!
Excellent… 😀
😀
All three are excellent but my personal favorite is #3 😉
Thanks Joey! Just playing around, for now 😉
All three are excellent cover art!
Thank you Hien
Dit is pragtig en ek hoop dit gebeur gou.Ek werk al jare aan ‘n boek oor Namibie,maar ek kry ook nie klaar nie!Te veel afleiding op ander plekke.
Ek is seker dat jou boek n wenner sal wees wanneer dit op die rakke verskyn, goeie goed vat tyd!
Dankie vir die aanmoediging Dina!
