I freelance and do print book covers for a living using poser and stock photos. :) I am also the Art Director for a small press print/ebook publisher that uses both photo composite covers and poser artwork and I'll tell you something. Neither of the top covers would have been approved by me. :)

HOWEVER

That being said, I also do freelance work for a number of "romantica" companies who pay ....erm....not alot.  So the time/money factor needs to be taken into consideration.  I'll be the first one to admit that the company that pays more gets more effort and better covers.

I've attached a link to one in my gallery that received quite a bit of effort recently. :)

Don't discount the so called "bad covers"....the old adage holds true...

..."you get what you pay for"...
