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.
Not knowing the circumstances of the project, I do not like either photo. Flair or no flair, the pole in the photo is distracting.
This was posted 4 and 1/2 years ago. I hope the client made a decision by now.
Hmm.
The cars in A are very distracting.
The flare in B is very distracting.
I like the jogger in A much more than in B.
Neither photo is great.
Photo B is too gimmicky to me. My vote is on Photo A.
I like A.
