Contest Brief

EDITED AND UPDATED 1/29:

I have not had much luck with the running or body images. I have liked a few, but for now I would like to focus on finding:

*a stock photo of a striking Korean woman's face. Her full face must be shown, preferably from a front view (not profile). A strong, determined look is preferred over a peaceful or sad look. Definitely not happy or cute.
*a stock photo focusing on a female hand holding a small knife or dagger.

PREVIOUS DESCRIPTION:
I am an indie author. I make my own book covers, but I haven't found the right stock photo yet for my next release.

[previous content removed, see above]

You don't need to buy the stock photo. Just show it to me somehow. Including the link is helpful. Make sure it is a photo that can be purchased for use on a book cover (not just a random picture from google images, obviously).

This is a guaranteed contest. Don't worry - I won't steal your idea and run with it without paying you.

Attached are two other book covers I have done. They are all in the same series and should have the same kind of feel.

Is it possible to extend the contest? I found a few images I think would suit your needs perfectly!

Thank you all for your participation in this contest. I have revised the description. The photos of running women were not working out. I am hoping to get more submissions of face closeups or hands with knives. Please see the revised description for details. All previously submitted photographs (that haven't been rejected) are still being considered. I would just like more samples like the ones I mentioned to be included. Thanks!

Hi, I have a doubt. The majority of the ones that you have rated well, do not fit your description of "The photo should be of a young woman in a short, single-colored evening dress." So, is it safe to assume that this is not necessarily a very strict requirement?
