#1 or #2? Whachya think?

[HotHolly]

Opinions please. I realize you all are a total biased group and only in it for the photography, but hey, Im asking anyway.

This is a print ad that Im running for our bridal shop. Its a dummy/ mock up.

Right now Im debating over which image I want in the ad. I asked my bridal shop friends and they all leaned really hard towards one over the other. Just checking out opinions here.

Please vote for #1 or #2. If you feel like saying why you chose the one you did, that might be nice to hear too.

#1


-OR-

#2


Thank you kindly!

While you know I love the pic in #1, it bugs me that the bottom of her dress is cut off. I voted for #2 because the color is very eye-catching and I think would attract more attention.

[HotHolly]

Debbi! I knew you were gonna do that! lol.

PS - you must clicked #1. I'll mentally move you to #2.

Do you have an opinion on which as looks like the shop is swank? Or are they implying equal swankness?

Abilene's a great town (son is ACU '02), but I think #2 is going to be more popular there.


color, color, color.

I picked two because when I think of bridal I think white dress. Plus the color caught my eye.

[HeatherLou]

Both are very cool! I voted for #2, cuz of the color, very eye catching!

I like the color in #2 better and if you wern't in Abilene, I would have picked it.

It's been a few years since I lived there - but I remember everything there (espically the people - aka mom's that are paying for the dress) being very traditional... and I think #1 is a more traditional shot.

#2 cause it has that colorful swankness I think your looking for.

but it's also the home of 3 colleges. Conservative, church-based, yes, but colleges nonetheless. Full of college-aged folks.

2, very swank

#2...color wins, the other is dark and less inviting

Could be. I've been processing all day in the midst of the flu or something. I still think #2 will draw the attention you are looking for - very swank!

Are the double caps in "ABilene" intentional?

I think #2 stands out more.

[studiocygnet]

I voted #2 just because the brides head and hair stand out from the background more. Just a bit too much in the shadow in 1 for my taste.

[Linda Potter]

I like #2 the best.
