Cover and official pictures

I know we'll probably have to wait a few more months before the first pictures are released... but I thought it would be fun to imagine the cover and the artwork of the album. As you may already know, I'm a picture collector and I believe the cover of an album always gives some signs of what's inside.

So, when I'm thinking about "Shine On", I imagine a colorful cover, so nothing like Solace, Surfacing or Laws of Illusion. I'm thinking about an outdoor photoshoot, similar to the Closer one but with brighter colors (no black and white or brown shades like here: http://www.solaced.info/album/Closer/Promo/index.html).
Maybe something similar to the Wintersong cover... but without snow! :)
Based on the name of the album, I would choose a picture where Sarah smiles (like on this picture: http://www.solaced.info/album/Surfacing ... ar83a.html)

Here's the kind of pictures I have in mind when I think about the cover of the album:
(Sarah Slean) http://www2.macleans.ca/wp-content/uplo ... e_wide.jpg
(Nelly Furtado) http://www.albumkings.com/wp-content/up ... y-2000.jpg
(Tori Amos) http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51NbZzyFSxL.jpg
(Chantal Kreviazuk) http://cmw.net/wp-content/gallery/2012- ... k_web1.jpg

What do you think it will look like? Share your thoughts! :D

P.S. Of course, this topic can be used to post the promo pics! ;)

I like the last of those; the beach picture of Chantal. That fits Sarah better. For the smiles, I like this one, for the pose, not the dress. The color is wrong. Ellen has a lot of pictures!

QuadraLach! Sounds like a tire, doesn't it? Neat picture, though. I like this one a lot, as well:

Black is her color, I think. Especially with black hair. What do you think?

That is definitely the kind of picture I would imagine on the cover of Shine On. :)
Black fits well with her hair, yes.

Sarah posted on her Twitter that she will be photo shooting today (10/02) in Vancouver for the cover of Shine On :)
My bet is something like this:
