what version do you like the best, and why?

Jimbo · 11-29-2008, 10:37 AM

I like the first one. The picture blends in better making your eye focus on the girl. I find the rusty looking one draw the eye to the rusty part... IMO JIMBO

smf · 11-29-2008, 10:47 AM

I agree with Jimbo's preference and reasoning.

devisor · 11-29-2008, 10:56 AM

so if I blend the rust like I did at the first one, on image nr 2.. would it make it better?

HouseOfHorla · 11-29-2008, 11:16 AM

I'm with smf and Jimbo on this one, but like your idea. Just to complicate things a little further what not try a black and white version?

Mark2100 · 11-29-2008, 12:15 PM

I like the first one because the colors compliment better. The second picture also looks a little like a grade "B" movie poster. My first impression of the second picture was, "she's living underground dressed for cool weather, what's she doing with a tan?"

I also like the first one, it's a lot colder than the second and compliments her attire.

roentarre · 11-29-2008, 02:31 PM

Simply the first one, more keeping with acidic and cool theme

**Mallee Boy** · 11-29-2008, 05:26 PM

Hmmm.

Gotta be different here.

The second one for me. The girl "pops" out of the photo to me where as the first one is a little bland and sterile for my taste. I find no distraction as the eye is naturally drawn to the girls face and eye make up.

Cheers.

a other one from this shoot

pete_pf · 11-29-2008, 07:24 PM

defiantly like the first better, i'm a fan of desaturated images so i may be a bit biased though :P

off topic, really like your sites, awesome work you have on there

Venturi · 11-29-2008, 07:40 PM

1st version all the way. The rust and old paint overpower everything else in the 2nd version. You lose the shadow contrast and the mood is lost with it.

spyglass · 11-30-2008, 01:56 AM

Well...... seeing that photoshop does give you God like powers how about

The desaturated scene of picture #1
The girl from picture #2,
black pants from #1 (nice sheen)
coat c/w fur collar from #1 (less competition especially with girls hair)

and on the seventh day you can rest

- ha ha

devisor · 11-30-2008, 05:20 AM

hehe I'm no God with photoshop

here is the final version

@Devisor
both photos are very good..

For me I Like the second one, why? because It gives me a more detail of its sorrounding and the feel of something at the top of a rusty metal just my two cents.

great lighting!
