4.Think of a cover design that will cater to a variety of readers
5. Worth the investment and the time.

Welcome Back!!!!
This next photo appears to be a fire that spread up a valley in the shape of a zig zag. I liked it because of the way it created leading lines in the photo.
Last but not least I have chosen a tornado for my final favorite amongst the photos, The reason why is because The wind and the sky go together so well and create a catastrophic atmosphere.
1. What was the best song of 2010?
Kid Rock: Born Free
