Cover feedback thread (give and receive)

Inspired by https://forums.tapas.io/t/blurb-helper-thread-50-sub-celebration-thread/47185/93 where we discussed blurbs, I decided to check about Cover. I am mainly in doubt whether my cover is good or not. Covers are the first promotional image readers will see at the Fresh section so it's important it is good.

The rule for posting is pretty basic: give some thoughtful and respectful advice about the cover and provide some justification (if you think it's good try to say why you would click it)

Here is mine for starter:

There's a lot going on (and I love your art style - so painterly) but I'm not sure who/what I'm supposed to focus on. My eyes keep going to the parrot. I think if I were drawing your cover, I'd light up the main characters a bit and don't cover them with the title. That way we can pick them out easily and we know who the story is about.

I realized I forgot the idea was to give feedback and then post your cover so the next one can give feedback on it
