Drawings or Photos? Choosing Images for the Book

I'm struggling with whether to pitch photos or artwork for the book to go with the text. I certainly have plenty of both. Perhaps a hybrid.

This drawing was one of my miniatures the size of a credit card that I have been working on and showing in exhibitions for the last few years. I manipulated the image some and am trying it out here.


This photo instead is one that I've been using in graphics about the book and I do like it. A lot. It is a photos of Blanche manipulated a bit to make it more graphical. But I can never be sure that my liking it has as much to do with how much I loved that dog and how much is the quality of the image itself.
