Duc Duc Post Master Supreme Registered: 06/20/03 Posts: 35382 Loc: MD	UPDATE: went with a different photo and added changes that everyone suggested Screen Shot 2015-09-14 at 10.34.08 AM by Ty June, on Flickr quick question. which photo should I use for a cover shot lead in photo for a review that I am writing? A. _MG_2887 by Ty June, on Flickr B. _MG_2867 by Ty June, on Flickr I think that B would be better for the 2pg article layout spread because the image is on the right and people read from left to right. kind of conflicted about which image to use Edited by Duc (09/14/15 09:39 AM) _________________________ BigAl: there is a huge difference between working out to be healthy, and ingesting 10 protein shakes a day, creatine, roids, etc. JoeyBalls: Yup.

Kierf Kierf The Right Honorable The Lord Mayor Kierf, First Death Notifier Of ClubSi Post Master Supreme Registered: 02/12/00 Posts: 44760	Some thoughts and suggestions. Both are pretty muted. Dodge the cooler. Maybe adjust the contrast a bit. The color palette is all pretty consistent. If you're focusing on the cooler, make the cooler be more noticeable.

tenplanescrashing tenplanescrashing Unregistered	Depends on where you plan to put the text, but A looks out of focus and B looks off in general. They both lack detail and color/contrast.

Duc Duc Post Master Supreme Registered: 06/20/03 Posts: 35382 Loc: MD	i'm re-editing b and adding in more detail and contrast while adding a bit more exposure to the cooler to make it the focal point of the picture _________________________ BigAl: there is a huge difference between working out to be healthy, and ingesting 10 protein shakes a day, creatine, roids, etc. JoeyBalls: Yup.

Id desaturate the background, get rid of the orange ribbon and make damn sure the cooler is in focus.

Duc Duc Post Master Supreme Registered: 06/20/03 Posts: 35382 Loc: MD	i changed the wording out last night and tailored it to bears since the company is named Grizzly. I removed the orange ribbon, and increased the exposure and contrast while adding a bit of clarity and sharpness to just the color to make it the focal point. in a few, I will be taking a few more pictures to round out the rest of the article Screen Shot 2015-09-14 at 10.34.08 AM by Ty June, on Flickr _________________________ BigAl: there is a huge difference between working out to be healthy, and ingesting 10 protein shakes a day, creatine, roids, etc. JoeyBalls: Yup.
