☀️ Couldn’t decide, so you get two of them. Asked a couple of photographer friends who came to say goodbye, and both picked the same one.

What about you? A, or B?

@maique A: The sun peaking out from his shoulder and how much more he stands out from the background.

@gregmoore That’s my pick as well 🙂 They both went with B, but the legs that show up beneath his left arm are a dealbreaker for me 😅

@maique Definitely A

@maique B. That hat is ah-mazing.

@maique I like 'A'

@maique A, but I would crop out the right side human. Amazing photo both though!

@maique B just jumped out at me, so I’d go with that one.

@maique B almost looks like an album art, book cover, or movie poster, love it

@maique Top of A, bottom of B. In A, the body tilts just enough to reveal the sun spot, the hat is jauntier. In B, the lift of the left foot and the cane off the ground, the separation of both the left foot and its shadow, the gleam of moisture round the right foot. The blowout in the top of B is formless, where the spot of golden light in A draws our eye away.

So, go back and pose him by that man hole cover, line up the light and have him walk through a few more times....

@maique Gotta go with B, myself, though they’re both fantastic!

@maique B for me.

@maique I think the moral of the story is they are both great. 😁

@pratik Thanks. I think that’s mine as well.

@SimonWoods 🙂 Thanks! It was a cool hat and cane combo.

@Parag Yup, thanks. I believe I do too.

@supremus That’s my issue with it, and the fact that no cropping is allowed 🙂

@crossingthethreshold You are with the photographer friends 🙂

@Gaby Thanks! That’s the one they picked as well.

@pimoore @Miraz The one my friends picked. I’m leaning toward A, but…

@Ddanielson Thanks!

@cliffordbeshers Of course! 🤣🤣🤣 And you know I would, wouldn’t I? Sadly we’re leaving very early in the morning, so I’ll have to rebook the shoot for later in the month!

I’m on it! 😅

@maique B, the sun in A draws the eye a bit much. And for some reason I kinda like the cel-shaded cartoon look in B.

@maique A, because the tight shot makes it’s more clear what the subject is.

@maique both are fantastic, but I liked “A” better. That sunshine over his shoulder looks awesome.

@maique it is definitely A for me.

@maique A, the rim light in B makes it look too artificial for my taste

@maique but I do like the feet better in B (and the reflection)

@maique Brilliant photos. A for me and as sons as I saw it, I thought ..is he on a film set. Reminded me if Poirot

@Microlorian Me too, a little, now that you mention it 🤣

@danielsantos Obrigado! É a minha preferida também 🙂

@teisam Thank you 🙂

@lmika My pick as well, I believe.

@jomalo Thank you 🙂

@Munish Thank you. Loving all the replies, and the incredible stuff some see in the photos. Amazing.

@maique I'd go B! I think without the direct glare of the sun, the glow of the subject's outline stands out much more! It's such a cool effect that I haven't seen often.
