magazine covers

Hi,
Please find attached two versions of covers. First and second I've prepared half a year ago for polish photo-sociological magazine. It was first time I desiged any editorial stuff. Third is designed now.
Could you comment it? Which one would be better for this purpose?

Third - my favourite version..

This is version with the picture I've chosen but wasn't accepted.

kerning ones more

Hi again,
Regarding kerning problem - two days ago I was asked by my polish friend to design logotype for his future Wine Society. I prepared first and then (after his comments) second version. First is with no kerning - second - after one hour kerning operation. Could you say some comments about this kerning?

Thanks
Marek

Klavika Specimen first pages after first kerning :)
