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 based on gut feel. compostion of a feels unbalanced
Oh god, I barely can’t decide since both images has it’s goods and charm. Biut I choose B, since she does not seem so stiff and I get the feeling that she is walking out of the frame which adds more movement and drama to it and it has more feeling in it.
But both of them are great!
My choice is: B
I like B
I like
[B]
It is part of an established story with great color and feeling.
A -has all of the elements of a story..but does not know what it wants to tell yet.
Photo A: although you see more of the envirement, you stay foccused at the lady. That might come because of the great light. (a tough lady somewere out there)
Photo B: Although the lady is more in the foreground, the van is taking your eyes of the subject (if the woman is the subject). Probably of the light as well, the lady is a bit underexposured compared with the background.
For me, Photo A.
