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.
I vote A, the cars are a bit distracting but in B the flare totally takes away from the runner.
A:
I think A is better as the runner is more visible and she looks happier . Let’s face it – the runner is pretty attractive, and covering her up with that light bloom is covering up a lot of the reason that many people (dudes) are going to stop and take a second look at this photo.
I think picture A is better 🙂
I love A because you can see her better…the colors are amazing! 🙂
A. The flare is too cliche and too distracting.
