help me decide... - PhotoCamel

Rain Lily · 12-21-2008

In the package this senior purchased, she got to choose 7 different portraits - when she turned in her choices from the proof cd, I became aware during editing that one of them was just enough OOF on the far side of her face for me to call her about it. She had chosen a similar pose and crop as well, so it wasn't a big deal, but she didn't know what other she wanted to replace it, and asked me to pick one for her.

These are the 2 I've narrowed it down to. I thought since I was having a hard time deciding, I'd let you guys vote. Plus learn to use the 'polling' thingie at the same time. LOL

Thanks for looking, and please vote for your favorite!

Steps for me, Sis.

patterfr · 12-21-2008

Steps, but you're just showing off with the poll feature.

gaopa2 · 12-21-2008

While I like both images, Sis, my vote is for #2.... just love the smile! Cheers, Bill P.

tbnj · 12-21-2008

Steps for me, too.

Waleed · 12-21-2008

They're both wonderful.. But if I was to choose just one, I would want one that would show her delightful smile.. #2 for me.

Strummit · 12-21-2008

As a newbie I think i'd say steps, but love the smile in #2.

felix.reichardt · 12-21-2008

Lory · 12-21-2008

It was a difficult choice for me. I voted #2. It may have been different if I knew what the other poses were that she chose.

k9ofkaos · 12-21-2008

Numero dos para mio.

Either one would be fine. They're both nice.

CI Photography · 12-21-2008

#2 for me. It would be a shame not to show off this beautifull young lady"s smile.

These are very different from each other in both expression and mood. I would choose either depending on the chosen 6, if it's a matter of having a variety. Not knowing what the other 6 are like, I'd choose 2. How's that for long winded, Sis.

Everyone, thank you for your vote, and helping me here. I am kind of in a hurry so didn't take time to comment individually, but I so appreciate each one of you commenting, and voting.

For those who mentioned it, of the 7 she originally chose, 4 were full or 3/4 length body shots, and 3 were close ups of head/shoulders. So eliminating the one I wasn't happy with, it was a close up. The votes are going at this moment toward the closer one, and that would be a similar pose to what got eliminated.

Great light on the subject in #2. Flash? or just good natural light ?

Thank you, filo - it was natural light, with a reflector camera left.

Athena · 12-21-2008

LDamm · 12-21-2008
