Which Photo is Better: A or B?

Runner.jpg

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.

      LOL, this. WTF is the fascination with over dramatic flare? It adds nothing to the photo.

      A all the way. As far as I can tell, they’re the same photo, but B has photoshop-melodrama added. Yuck.

    To me it´s Photo A. The flare in B is to much for me.

    I like the tone on the cars on picture B better, but the flare is just to big, it distracts your attention to much. So overall I would go for A.
