Which Photo is Better: A or B?

Runner.jpg

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.

    A for sure, B looks fake and overdone.
    The shadows from the legs in both shots also looks out of place as there is no other noticeable strong shadows.
    my 2 cents

    My first impression was to vote for A.

    After really looking at the two images for a couple of minutes though I really enjoyed the vignette and detail of B.

    It would be interesting the see the rest of the project though to get a sense of the overall feel to the campaign.

    Either way great shots and I look forward to following more of your work.

    Photo A looks overprocessed. I prefer photo B. Looks more natural, colorful, and warmer.

    A has my vote, I think B is more Jarvis style, but A has a better appeal to it.

    Well I personally like the first “A” photo more than “B” but I think it depends on what exactly we gonna do with this image ? If we are going to add some text on it I think “B” is better dessicion because of the space that we have for the text 😛
