Which Photo is Better: A or B?

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:

So which photo is better? A or B?

    I would say unfair comparison. B is by far the best in terms of editing, compostion, pose, lighting etc. With a different pp A could be good as well.

    I vote A. Something about the colors of the teal background and the warm color of her skin works really well visually with the DOF into the distances.

    B
    The light is killer and her face is beautiful and natural. All around a better photo.

    I like B a lot! Love the blown out background and the edge it has. The shadows in A are not to my liking.
