Amazing work, Jason.  That's a cover to be proud of for sure.

And excellent font choice.  The little flairs almost look like whips, which I'm guessing was the creator's intent.

As any experienced photographer will tell you, almost any photograph is better with the main subject off-centered.  Usually in photo-speak, that means placing the subject about one-third of the way from either side of the photo, AND have another feature (in this case the horizon) one third of the way from the vertical limits of the picture.  Thus, photo 2 is by far the better photograph, and having the main subject even further to the side than the usual rule-of-thirds only enhances the drama.  Plus, the additional negative space gives you a lot more room for text (as you've already seen looking from the examples).  Picture 1 meets none of those criteria.
