help to decide...

[iposiniditos]

Hello all,

Next month i will give an interview to a magazine for my upcoming short film and i would like some help -if it's possible- to decide about the version of the photo i'll give to the magazine.

Taken from a friend of mine with his 5d and pp'ed from me.

The two versions:





What would you choose?

Thanks a lot in advance,

The second one. The cooler tone looks better. But i guess it depends what the short film is about and how you want to portray yourself as an artist.

[PiroStitch]

Personally prefer the cooler tones in the 2nd one.

I prefer #1, the blue tone in #2 is just too much for my taste...great portrait either way.

Another vote for #1 but I had to look back and forth a few times to make the decision, perhaps somewhere in between might work ?

Personally prefer the cooler tones in the 2nd one.

Same here

Cheers, Mick

Just to be difficult: I prefer the warmer skin tones of the first, but the cooler background of the second. If you mixed the two you would have an interesting tonal contrast, but I'm not sure if that is what you were after.

I like the first as is, the color warmth in the face, and background blend. THe second one, to me, looks like you have desaturated the background.

#1 for me.

It is an excellet photograph, but I like the first one because it is wormer. The second one has too much blue for my liking.

Many many thanks for your answers!

I have made a third, maybe something between the two..



Maybe this would work better?

Killakoala is right. It depends on how i want to portray myself, but this is a very tough question

I have uploaded some stills of my upcoming short without the final colour correction here

thanks a lot for seeing,
theodoros

As you say the colour correction isn't done in those images from the short film, but going on the content of those I'd go with the first one. I think the warmer tones suit it better.

First image was my pick of the two..
