Conceptual: Martian Chronicles Book Cover

My most recent project has taken me to a book cover re-design. The book in question is "The Martian Chronicles" by Ray Bradbury. The content of this novel is quite good and provides metaphoric commentary on a variety of subjects using the setting of Mars and Earth to accomplish its narrative. I took a piece of the novel and decided to illustrate it on to the front of the book. This particular scene was a re-occurrence within the novel and held special meaning in the narrative; using it for the cover would have been appropriate enough to hint at the story yet still leave some mystery. If you have time I suggest giving it a read.
