Remember when I did the original chasejarvisLIVE photo shoot way back in winter? If you recall, I was shooting the album cover image for alt/punk country band Brent Amaker and the Rodeo. We also did post production and editing on the images LIVE as well a few weeks after the shoot. Well now it’s time to print these suckers on a limited edition run of vinyl and there is somewhat of a debate on which image is better.
Simply put, and with no further explanation, I thought I’d ask for your thoughts. So which is better, A or B?
Vote in the comments. Also love to know ‘why’ if you care to explain. 500 px wide images after the jump…

OR.
B. With the foreground lady standing up…
Love to hear your thoughts.
B
I would have to say album cover B. When does the album come out?
neither? I don’t like either. Both make your eyes jump back and forth. Nothing pulling you into the frame.
I prefer B… although I find the “drunk” women used as dumb accessories don’t add anything to the picture or the glory of the band. I am not sure about the “polaroid” tone too. The set is really nice but I would have put the band in a little more compact layout and crop tighter around them. But who am I?… In fact no.. you asked for critics and preference isn’t? 😛
B is better if you are going to put in text in the upper left and lower left, if no text is going on it, then its not so good
A is better if little or no text is going to be added.
A is better for total hot sexiness with the gal lying on her back in the foreground with her long legs and nice light separating her breast.
B is better for the guys, with more attention being focused on then due to light on their faces.
A is better because I imeaditly look at the sexy girls,,, it grabs my attention quickly and I want to stop and look at it.
B is better if you like the nice fashion look of the model, but does she really go with their style music?
