But I really like this cover!

As a self-published author, I am responsible for my own covers. I have to be aware that covers sell the books. Yet at the same time, I am one to buck the rules. I was a soldier a long time ago, and I must confess, I bucked them back then, too, even though it was drilled into me to shut up and obey. Perhaps that's why I don't want to follow trends. 
So this tension has taken me to this point. I made my own covers or my Bay of Fundy Romantic Suspense series, and I love them. I took the photographs myself, enjoyed the travel to those mysterious places, but frankly, nice sunny shots of famous locales don't really scream suspense.
Here is the cover for Cape of Secrets.

Cape of Secrets

Do you see what I mean? It's a great cover. Nice, interesting shot, good, sunny colours and a balanced layout, but would you get mystery/suspense from that? 
I don't think so.
What are your thoughts?  Is it time to redo the cover? Let me know.
