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?
I like the bluish green coloured background in Image A, but B is less crowded and there’s not much conflict, so I’ll have to go with the latter. B!
B.
I actually like the colors/light on the models face better in A, but B is far better and more raw and “honest” as a photo if you look at the big picture.
The girl herself also comes of far better looking in B. Not to mention the different poses.
B
A looks looks set up and manipulated so I am detached from the photo and the women. I am not in A. thats my preference
B fo shizzle
I like B better, because it looks more natural.
A is nice, too, but I don’t really like how you see the cut off shadow on the ground. Also, I don’t like the composition as much. It looks a bit like a light test.
