Book cover

At present my book is going through the process of editing and proof-reading which is a critical and important part of the task of producing a professionally presented book. Also, I haven’t yet decided  on the design of the all-important  front cover.  I now have to choose between two alternative book covers, designed by print graphic artist, Tom Crowe, stationed at our Chicago office. The following prints are what he has produced and both have previously been used as cover designs for our sales catalogue.  What are your thoughts about the cover, and which, if any, of the two covers should I choose?
