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.
A is my favorite.
Hi Chase
I like them both, although I think A is the better of the two. It’s easier for your eyes to take it all in and is perhaps more traditionally composed.
Hi Chase,
I think B personally. The picture has more sense of depth, and makes the eye want to discover it more. Where as A looks flatter and “here it is” type of feel. Definitely B my eyes are draws to the girl in fore ground and makes me want to see what else is going on. That’s my two cents… 🙂
Cheers,

“A” is my choice, the female positioned close to the camera in “B” is too dominant and I keep returning to her as the main point of interest.
hope this helps,

I like A better. Is this foreground lady in the band? Given that this is an album cover, B sort of makes me want to think that this lady is the lead, the face of the band. For an album cover, A seems to be the ticket.
