• Things I like: 
19-
Placements, colouring. This is a very nice texture-based cover.
19+
Colour palette, brushes, placements. Everything looks good and the mood suits the story genre.
20-
I like how you chose a plain background and used a few brushes to bring the model in the centre of attention. 
20+
21-
I love the effects used for title, and the purple-orange contrast makes the cover less ordinary.
21+
22
• Things I dislike: 
23
Text, Models' hue. 
24
The author's name and the subtitle have the same size, which may be confusing for the reader. 
25-
The watermark, some effects. The signature is in a totally different font and it draws attention unnecessarily. 
25+
The models have a yellow hue, it makes them look pale in comparison to the rest of the cover.
26-
I also don't like the association of lens flare and grunge texture, they are opposites for me.
26+

• For improvement: 
29
Move the author's name at the top of the cover, all words on a single line. 
30-
 change the font of your watermark, and might look better if you remove the grunge texture.
30+
Using color balance, give the models an orange-y tone instead of yellow.

• Things I like: 
46-
This is stunning. The textures are beautifully used and the effect you did with two halves is nice. 
46+
I like the idea you went for and the colors used!
47-
The light flare is beautiful and really caught my eye. 
47+
48-
The left eye is so beautiful, the way you brought out the *shine* (see what i did there). 
48+
49-
The colors and the psd are really good together.
49+
50
The title is very low quality (blurred out?) and the couple looks kind of out of place. 
51
The author is also placed in an awkward place. I can see some awkward things around the cover, 
52
like in the R there's a half erased moon of a flower or something.
53-
The red in the text while beautiful in the title, is a bit hard to read the author. 
53+
54-
The right eye looks blurrier than the left, but it could be due to the grid texture over it. 
54+
55-
The watermark is a little too visible.
55+
56
I think you should move your watermark up, put the author where it was, and move the subtitle to where the author was. 
57
I also think blending in the couple (referring to colors) would make it look more put together. 
58
Maybe erase the parts where you forgot- like on the bottom right there's a half pink moon, and in the R.
59-
Maybe change the author so it's just all white, or make the red brighter. 
59+
60-
If the watermark is bolded, unbold it or lower the opacity of it.
