Based on the link to the rejected covers, I can see why what made the cover was chosen. In every other one, including the one MM posted, there are technical "nopes"; the one above, her knee is dead center and quite bony-draws the eye right to it and that means their faces get lost. Some are too wide, others are too bland or awkward. In the first skating one, she looks like she's sticking her hand up his ass, for instance.
While it's possible the pose itself was inspired by that poster, I really think that if we look at things enough, we'll find "inspiration" in everything. I was told my work looks inspired by George Tice and I didn't even know who he was.
