Howdy,

It is bad practice to use file names with spaces in tex documents. If  
you would look at the console output you'd see

LaTeX Warning: File `K G.jpg' not found on input line 7.

so there is a problem. While a lot of work has been done to be able to  
use file names with spaces I try to avoid at almost all costs because  
you can still run into problems.

Good Luck,
