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 the A better, as the B image needs a different crop, without the cars and more tight to her.
I’ll go with B. The beam looks distracting thus making look for a second time wondering whether the lady is running away from something. The image is quite interesting 🙂
I like A photo, but if I want to write something I will may be take photo B, to put some text on flare.
I think B allows the viewer to more easily imagine themselves in the pic.
A VOTE. B looks like a thumbprint. A leaves the viewer wondering it the sun is rising or perhaps it is setting! A Vote here~
