The Trespassing Photographer's Mistake (Thriller/Mystery)

Day 23 of Thingadailies:

This took a couple tries, as my first attempt used a photo of a "dead" body and it screamed "DIY cover" no matter what I did. I suspect a professional could have edited the photo is such a way that it worked, but that person is not me.

This attempt worked out much better. I like the angles of the film strip. I couldn't decide on the font color, though. Black doesn't look quite right:

Black

Brown fits better, but I think it shifts the genre into... something that's not thriller/mystery. As much as I'd like to believe I'm making it up, I don't think I am.

Brown

I'd probably go with the brown, but it's a close call. (I'd probably also change the title if I was really publishing this, so there's that as well.)

In any case, I'm reasonably happy with how this came out.
