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 prefer B, but would prefer it more if the van was a little less dominant as per A.
B is the stronger image.The people in the background looking backwards provide tension – what are they looking at? In A they hardly feature. The lighting in B is harsh but adds to the effect, and the composition is stronger.
I like photo B the best. The over exposure effect reminds me of the way the morning feels when you have been awake all night at a party, club, or whatever you were doing. Even though light tends to give the impression of warmth this photo seems to have a cooling effect. I do remember this photo from the D7000 ad.

A looks really boring, B isn’t that much better but just a bit, sooo
–> B or shoot again
