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 like A better because it’s in more focus and the sun is the perfect glow behind the model. B has too much sun and it takes away from the beautiful photo!
I like the model’s face better in B, but I can’t get past the huge flare. A it is.
I prefer A. I really don’t like the nuclear explosion going through the runner. Unless that’s what she is doing – running away from it. Its too distracting.
I vote “A” it may be a bit on the boring side but in “B” the fact that she is half in and half out of the glowing orb or light bothers me – if it was behind her more I could get behind the photo more 😉
A for sure. I swear I’ve seen A in a magazine. With B you can’t fully appreciate her fit features and running form. Flare is overwhelming…
Definitely A
