For a romance, I like the second cover better. I think I'd play with the fonts, though. With romance you can use some really pretty fonts. Take a look at those used on other romance novels. They're often lacy looking. I'd also drop the title and author name into the center of the image. (Into the pond, if you'll forgive me.) Of course, this is all based on your book being a sweet romance. If it's steamy, then I'd use a very different sort of image that suggests the passion inside the book.
