The author recommended this photo for the cover of the book:

The risk was that the cover might look too sentimental or clichéd but I thought there could be an interesting way of making the splashes interact with the title. The photo was manipulated quite a bit to make everything fit. I changed the shirt colour as well to give it a bit more punch.
