Yeah yellow for me I like the way the yellow matches the car and diving board.

I know the barcode is in a standard position, but would it look better aligned with the image below and squared off in the pink box?

I was leaning toward the white, but I'm going to trust Curt and you guys with the yellow.

It's the familiar step in the cover process where I re-think every design decision -- and every life decision -- made up to this point... which usually means we're almost done.

More contrast, slightly lighter face, tiny color adjustments, hints of color on the chrome, car interior color filled in, etc.

Please let me know if you spot anything that looks off. Otherwise, this one might be ready to go.

I personally prefer the white SF box but the yellow doesn't look too bad. Also, the sky flipped doesn't work for me as the shadows would be in the wrong position then.

Maybe you could change the shade of red used on the copyright (I think it is) icon at the bottom or make it fit in better with the other colours so it doesn't stand out so much?

As much as I liked the mood of the other title treatment, it was fighting too much with the left car, so a new one is in place.

I softened the sky a bit so left-right or right-left is less of a big deal. (I liked right-left for the image, but left-right for the cover as a whole... if that makes sense.)

The back top Yellow-on-Pink was reading a bit "Barbie Doll", so that's switched to the dark blue. We've still got the punches of color on the Special Features and line below, so I think it still has some good energy.

Maybe this is done?

I really like it. Pure Bunny class The only thing that keeps catching my eye is the row of bushes over his left shoulder. It is probably the preview, but it looks like they should be faded out some.

True, once you pointed it out my eye couldn't look anywhere else.
I've gone with Paris' earlier suggestion and lightened that area by about 10%, then lightened the entire hillside another 5%, along with a bit of blur.

I think I'll call it there, thanks so much again to everyone who took the time to add their guiding comments along the way!
