If you want to put this pic on cover, maybe try shooting with different lights. I'd suggest put some in front in one side or both. It will let you and instruments shine and see your face better. Not it's in shade.

Hi JC. I think most of us have been waiting patiently for your DVD and understand computer problems. Thanks for the update and hope you can finish it up soon. Also, hope the computer doesn't eat the pre-sale list...don't want to miss out on the special pricing...heh heh heh.
