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.
B because of the right leg, it’s visibly better in B while A seems like u’ve ‘cut’ it off leaving a one legged beautiful runner.
I’d go with B.
A is a technically better shot.
B is the shot that the stakeholders need. They’d need viewers to focus on the runner, and not the rest of the elements (cars, streetlight, etc.).
I’d guess that the text goes into the flare.
In a sense, Photo B is the teamplayer. Photo A is a bit of the diva.

agree with previous comment. Great effect in B, but too much. So A.
