The first was taken on aperture setting with WB set at the "cloudy day" setting. The 2nd was with the outdoor setting selected on the mode dial.

The second one looks more correct to me. The first one just looks way too warm (could be the WB) and slightly overexposed in areas.

Ditto!

Gordon · 03-19-2007, 02:51 PM

The one that you like is the correct one.

Wes · 03-19-2007, 03:46 PM

Agreeing with Wil and Paul.

NoLight · 03-19-2007, 04:15 PM

I'm Gordon on this one!!! But to me the second would be the one...

SanjuNana · 03-19-2007, 04:27 PM

I also prefer #2.

srwatters · 03-19-2007, 04:46 PM

Gordon is correct.

If it were my shot, I would choose #2.

Hmmm to me the first one it too warm and the second one it too cool. Maybe something in between?

Sometimes color can be what kind of emotion you are trying to convey.. but with this I'd say the second one cause the first one has a few blown out areas.

Trust me, I have a hard time with that one sometimes cause I'll prefer the technically incorrect photo :P But I actually like the detail of the second one better. : )

A quick color adjustment on the first image....

andiesmith · 03-20-2007, 02:51 PM

i agree with Laurie..some where in the middle of the two.

Is that at the Ft. Worth Zoo?

It might look really cool in B&W. But then that would be skirting the issue. You pick what floats your boat. I usually like things a little warm outside, but the 2 shots up are a little too warm or a little too cool.

I agree with Gordon and Scott but my preference is #2...althought maybe slightly warmer tha #2 is.

It was the Dallas zoo. Their gorilla exhibit is a-w-e-s-o-m-e. Here's a few others.
