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 the client is selling sun flares, definitely B. Otherwise A. This is assuming the client doesn’t have some alternative plan for using the flare we don’t know about.
A all day long. The flare is overdone in B
I am guessing they used B and dumped some kind of product image right in the middle of the flair!
B… Just do it! 🙂 lol
I vote for A. I love flare most the time bit it’s a bit overkill and distracting in image B.
