Need Some Feedback On My Cover

So, as of right now, this will be the cover for my short story, "Arrow Of Vengeance".  I could really use some feedback on the cover, what works, what doesn't. Please feel free to let me know what you think.

A Pat On The Back, Or A Kick In The Ass?

Some people need a pat on the back now and then. They are motivated by positive reinforcement. When they accomplish something, some encouraging words are all they need to keep on accomplishing things.

Other people, however, need a kick in the ass to get something done. I don't mean that they should be torn a new one, or chewed out. But what they need to get something accomplished, and to keep on accomplishing, is someone who will hold them accountable. Someone to prod them, sometimes firmly to get off their butts, and do what they need to do.

Depending on the situation, I could use either one. Sometimes, I can get a lot done, and a simple word of encouragement will keep me going.

This year, with my writing, I am needing a kick in the ass. I should have had at least 2 or 3 short stories or novellas written, and so far, I haven't been able to motivate myself. I certainly need a kick in the ass to get going.

What motivates you, a pat on the back, or a kick in the ass?
