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.
Without knowing what the pic is going to be used as
It’s hard to say….
The light in B, looks like a force that’s raising her
Higher off the ground…..
A doesn’t look realistic to runner, running on
Sidewalk….
A
Personally I like “A”. However, if the sports company is looking for an image to place text and graphics over, then I’d pick “B”.
“Better”is a matter of opinion and preference. I prefer B
For me it would have to be A. The image is clearer and the sun flare isn’t overpowering and hazy. However i really do like the blue sky in B.
