Production: Front Cover Background Choices

I wasn't sure whether the background of my front cover should be a spotlight on the model, or the model leaning against a bridge:

    

After speaking to my focus group, the majority preferred the bridge background. this was because they said that, although they liked the spotlight background, it was a bit simple. However, the bridge background was brighter, and therefore gave the front cover a lighter tone and happier atmosphere, and even though they knew that the model was photoshopped onto this background, it still seemed more natural than the other background.
