Need Your Opinion

[HPNFlyGirl]

Ok....so I am making my parents a photo book of some pictures I took this past year. I am kind of torn between 2 photos.

Which picture of Duke Chapel would you guys pick to be in the photo book?

The top one?

The bottom one?

 

[Everskyward]

Top one...

I really like the top one, but they are both really good photos.

 

[tonycondon]

top..

 

[Frank Browne]

I concur...top one.

 

[woodstock]

That's tough, they are both really good.

I'd go with the second one, the top one looks more like the focus is on the trees. The second one is clean and uncluttered and has great lines.

Photoshop the leaves of the top one around the borders of the bottom one...

 

[EdFred]

I wouldn't want a picture of anything from Duke in a photobook!!

 

[SkyHog]

Well, half of me says the top one, and the other one says....

Go Lobos!! Basketball season is upon us! Boo Duke!

Hell with it Brook put both of them in.
But thats my opinion, which it's worth much.

It appears I'm with the minority in liking the second. However, both are worthy of inclusion.

Exactly my thoughts.

Hah hah hah. Trust me I am NOT a Duke fan but they have some nice architecture out there.


Thank you everyone for helping me out with this.

Top, more depth and dimension.

Thanks Matt.

The top one cropped something like this:

Bingo. I had already held the paper on both sides of the computer screen to get an idea of portrait orientation. Yours is perfect.

 

[KennyFlys]

The top one but I'd take it more so if the chapel was framed more openly between the trees, perhaps so the trees do not appear to be the main focus.

 

[Bob Bement]

I picked the top one as it has some color to it. Bob

 

[AdamZ]

I'd go with the third choice.

 

[vontresc]

I'd go with Matt's pic. Of course it takes an arborist to crop a pic with trees.

The second one is clean and uncluttered and has great lines.

Ditto. The trees are nice but the second photo is the better one IMO.

 

[Maxmosbey]

I like Matt's version.

 

[gprellwitz]

I like option three, Matt's chopping down the trees!
