Sorry I'm not going to pick a favourite, unfortunately instead I'm going to nitpick but hopefully you will be able to make some use of the criticisms.
It is hard to tell as you have shown the dummy icon for images rather than an actual preview.
Keep in mind that monitors are in the ratio 3:4. If you want your design to look aesthetically pleasing it should be close to 3:4 (or if it is horizontal it should be 4:3).
Well, I hate to nitpick your nitpick ;) but my screen isn't 4:3, nor is my wife's, nor is my screen at work. I would say that it is kinda a dying format, designing specifically for it probably isn't useful.
errm 400:600; ... 2:3
oops.
Point is (despite my mathematical inability) there are standard proportions that almost everyone is using already and things will look more aesthetically pleasing if you can use them.
Thanks for the nitpick, hope the main point is clear though.
