I was just recently commissioned for a campaign and shot about 1000 images to capture final image for this well known sports company. In the end, it came down to the two images above. As is usually the case, the final image is tough to choose, with lots of factors under consideration, lots of stakeholders picking their favorite. There was much debate.
I’ve posted stuff like this before and was really excited by the resulting discussion, so I figured I’d throw it out there again… WHICH IS BETTER, A or B?
Vote in the comments. Love to know ‘why’ if you care to explain your thoughts. 600 px wide versions of each image after the jump…hit [‘continue reading’ below]. After you all weigh in, I’ll tell you which one was used and why.
This is PHOTO A, below.
THIS is PHOTO B, below.
I prefer the B picture..
Coz I fell it’s more unique and warmth.. Make me feel the spirit and warmness of great morning. And start the day with jogging.. 🙂
B is more dramatic, the body language of the girl is more tense and focus on her running and the big flair adds some mystery to the image.
Without hesitation, I vote for A.
My first thought on B was that it had water on the lens.
B – assuming there will be text/graphics over the photo (otherwise A)
I say it depends on the graphic layout. I would vote for A if there is a lot of type and the look is clean. I would vote for B if it’s more of a loud ad.
