The author was either drunk or had lost her glasses if she thought this cover was clear and in focus.
The detail I like the most are the two silhouettes walking on water, especially with her saluting a non-existent flag.
Oh, and if I read your blurry publishing logo correctly, your leaf is the wrong color. Scarlet is a red hue. Maybe rename your imprint as Blurry Orange Leaf publishing.

Blurry, pixelated, color shifted, with lossy jpeg artifacts from multiple saves with high compression … that’s visible on my laptop and on the Amazon Look Inside! feature.
Looking at it on my phone, the poor image quality is less noticeable (the leaf is a little redder but still not scarlet). This might pass for a ebook, but it is not a good image for a PrintOnDemand paperback cover.
“… sticking out her tongue …” Kissing 101: lock lips then stick out tongue; sticking out your tongue first may be taken as a sign of rejection.

I can’t help but read it as Double Edge D.

The girl’s profile looks to me like one of those old animes, where a face in profile with an impossibly perky nose also has a front facing mouth in the character’s cheek.
The leaf, hm, I’d say cadmium red medium, which is an orangey kind of red. Close to scarlet but not quite.

I think this requires a completely new tag called ‘Font Happy’. It’s even worse than putting five different fonts on a single cover–putting tree fonts on steroids on a single cover. And I’m not even counting the logo font. I assume the only reason Hitch didn’t comment on this one is because she had a seizure when she saw it.
