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. My eyes are just drawn to it more and it draws the focus right to the woman. Even though you see let of her, it draws me in more.
I’m going w/B but it’s entirely subjective. A appears better as a thumbnail. As you view them both there is more emotion coming from the female model in B and the au natural light makes it appear to be a more candid moment plus the look is more contemporary which I like. Nice work Chase.
A for its punch and the surounding informations. I went straight into it like in a movie, B is a nice portrait but for me no statement, nearly no life like a fake natural wanting to look too natural,
B
B, seems more natural
