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?
Photo A makes me lust after wind turbines and photo B makes me lust after the girl. I like girls better so B gets my vote.
I’m with most of the people that B is the image that offers more engagement, and I love your work but I think they’re both somewhat flawed. I like the light and the post-processed, post-apocalyptic feel of A while I don’t like her static body position. The guys shouldn’t break the plane of her body. In B, her body has energy but I don’t like her arms cropped off and with the high-key look, the cool visual element of the wind towers gets lost.
B quite blown out but better than A on all counts
while i’m a major high-contrast and deep colour lover/shooter, B has my vote hands down mate.

B for me. the composition, the light, the colour, and the story the image tells.
