number 1.. but don't pay attention to me. I am a camera dummy..

 

[charityd]

There's only one again :shrug:

 

[eckybay]

I see two now!

I like number 1 better too - the warmer tones make it seem summery and vibrant, imo.

 

[Largo]

Angie I can only see your second photo.

Number 1 is warmer and a little more colorful.

#1 is my favorite.

I like the how the sun warms up the whole picture in #1, she has such pretty golden hair.

I'm probably going to be the only one, but I like #2 better.
If I were looking at this scene 'for real', I imagine myself squinting from the sunlight looking at #1. The colors ar softer in #2. #1 actually looks darker to me because of the contrast in light and color saturation.

I thought #2 looked more true so i pulled them up in potatoshop to have a look and ended up playing around...

basic goal was to bring as much focus to the girl in the blue as i could so i tried to make it look like there was a big white wall just off camera right bouncing the sunlight back, I also darkened the cars in the background. Its a bit of a quickie and wouldn't pass muster at print scale because of the grainyness from bumping the brightness so much... but i need the practice.

i liked the top ones better than the photoshop one, the top ones are much clearer, the girl however does not quite stand out as much as she could if it were cropped down some. #2 is also the one i prefer.
for some reason my eye is drawn to the darkness at the top part of the photo.

nice job!

 

[HannahCB]

I like number one its nice and bright and warm

 

[angie j]

Thanks everyone!
I also prefer #2.... but I presummed that I would be unique there, glad I'm not alone...
I like the darks for some reason.

But I did like #1 also, for the same reasons stated: summery, and bright!

I didn't want to crop it down because I wanted to capture the 'moment' as well as the ballerina There were drummers in the park that day and she was the 'belle of the ball'... Perfect for a self centred 5 yr old..lol.
