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.
Why the old post?
A
B has too much flare, but – she is higher off the ground, the shadows are longer, the line of her leg is stronger, and she looks really ‘in the moment’.
For me A. the B has to much flare that make the image confusing for me. but the expression of the runner is better in B. hope to hear what image the client choose. Thank chase for sharing your image with us 🙂
A, less flare IMHO.
