When looking at the imagery of the cover I was imagining going into a bookshop (people do still do this, right?!) and encountering the book. I imagine I would see the "blank" cover and be intrigued, turn the book to see the spine in an attempt to satisfy my curiosity and then probably turn it around to see the back. Personally I love the tree image and so that would draw me to open the book and delve more into it. So I think it works.
One point I'd make is that it appears in the images provided that spine background colour (i.e. that holds the text "GROUND") is a different colour to the front cover sky and top of the back cover. This, for me, creates a visual divide between the ground (i.e. tree image) and the sky.
A final thought is the option of providing an instruction somewhere (e.g. this sleeve makes one image) but this may take all the fun away.
Congratulations on breaking new Ground! ;)

Congrats. Excited to read it!
