Alrighty. Regardless of the fact that this A or B series (here, here, and here) has been really interesting for us, helpful, and popular with you (the last such post received over 1000 comments in 24 hours)…
This time it is of even greater interest for us. You see, we’re doing some image editing around here and we’ve stumbled into a little internal debate about which one of these two images is actually better, A or B. [You might remember these shots from the Nikon D7000 campaign…]
Hearing from you will help really help us. No qualifiers, don’t worry about our objectives, or the “assignment”. We want to know which one of these shots you like better. And please tell us in the comments below, not via twitter. Raw preference. Period. If you can add some “why”, that would be nice too. Full 600 pixel wide images after the jump. Hit ‘continue reading’ below [and btw, I’ve got a $1 gentlemen’s bet riding with Erik about which one will win, so don’t let me down!]…
After you all weigh in, I’ll tell you which one I like, which one I thought you’d like, and why.
This is image A, below:
This is image B, below:
So which photo is better? A or B?
B because it is all about the girl.
B’s lighting is better but it’s kinda weird to have the girl looking one way, the boys another. A is more engaging but the turbines are a bit distracting. In the end, it boils down to the purpose of the shoot.
A: I like the whole atmosphere much more than the atmosphere in B. I Also don’t like the look of the model in B. Although it’s more natural for me she looks like: “oh these stupid guys in the car. I have to get some distance”. And I personaly don’t like that. While A is for me like: “There’s something gonna happen”…
Chase!!
Definitely B, for the lighting and the model.

I’m with the B squad. It’s all about the story.
