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.
If you choose B, you might as well, click “Filter > Render > Lens Flare,” oh and after that you can add the campaign text in the big sunflare with a “dropshadow”
i think A is an excellent shot, the lady’s face is quite bold/rigid/confident, and her body is well defined… Great shot. Pick A or no more ChaseJarvis Blog for me! 🙂

B has stopping power. A is average.
A … that flare is sooooo 90s’
This is what i think.
A : Advertising campaing
B : Artistic content
B.
More dynamic and less competition for the runner’s attention.
How it is that you came to present these 2 versions to your client?
Were you responsible for the postproduction?
