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.











B for ad copy placement, A as a standalone. But the real answer is, neither. “Better” is in the eye of the beholder.
Personally, I like A. I think her expression is better, her skin tone is nicer and there is still that warmth and flare without it being too much. I don’t like that in B, she looks like a leg is missing, especially when the image is smaller.

I like A better, but could see B being chosen for commercial purposes as it adds more wow to it. Plus it isn’t about the photo so much as the brand and product. Love it.
I like Photo A because I can see the subject more. I also really like Photo B cause I spent more time looking at it trying to see more into it because the subject wasn’t as clear as Photo A. Great photos. Keep up the awesome 😀
