Im sorry im posting 2 images, i really need you guys help me pick one of these shots. Brief was to highlight only the earring, and was not to show the model too much. Which one do you guys prefer? How could i improve. Need the negative space for the body copy. Thanks for your help.

Option 1:



Option 2:



Here is an outtake, i like the lines and curves in this one: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2386/...076630116a.jpg

Both photos portray different moods because of the model's expression. I am drawn to each for differing reasons. The first is more warm and inviting as my eye goes straight to the model's smile- not to the earring. The second is more mysterious and my eye is drawn towards the earring...so that would mean I choose #2.

Thank you, so now that one each and im still confused. Think I should just re-shoot cos when i get that shot, i will know it.

I prefer No 2 as the lighting looks more natural on the jewelry.

I love both, but think the first would be my pick

Yeah that is true, the colour of the product is true, which is a plus.

Thanks for your vote.

I would say number one as well. Though, if the color rendition were closer to number 2, it would be a more confident vote. The issue I have with the second photo is the angle of the earing. The angle is a little too severe to highlight the product imho...Nice photos though!

I prefer No. 2 - The colors are much more natural and there is that mysterious aura to it that makes me want to know a little bit more about the subject. Definitely the second.
