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 image B better. It’s more visually appealing. I don’t like the lighting in image A – it makes the image too busy and chaotic and hard to read.
.b. the movement. the energy that pushes from within it out to the viewer. the color. composition. light.
.yes.
.b.
Everyones gonna like A better; color contrast perspective. I think your gonna like B, more story from the subject.
I like B for the exposure
B no question. I just like composition better, facial expression, pose, contrast. I know a lot of people like the color in A but I personally don’t.
I choose A…I like the lighting on the girl with the sun setting in the background. Also as mentioned above better feeling of space. B is a great shot though.
