If you have a moment to spare I would appreciate your feedback as to which image you prefer. I liked different things about each one and could not decide. Many thanks Rob
I like them both. The left one has the air of excitement of the child’s torch on the wall. The right one has such a pleasing composition and the umbrella is fab. Can’t decide!
The right on give a better perspective of the tunnel, but to me the other images is more interesting. Leaves me with more questions. Together they tell a story,
difficult shout , my first impression was left hand side , but the crop is a little tight and doesn't give the scale and vastness of the tunnel as shown in the right hand side image. The right hand side has separation of the people , so on that basis I go with right hand side
I like the one on the right. I like the symmetry of it and the fact that the silhouettes are more defined than on the left image. Having said that they are both great pics!
I ike the one on the left but only just. it has greater clarity and more compositional interest. But isn't it interesting how differently we all see things and the things that appeal
I like the one on the right because of the spacing of the people and the lighting offers a little more detail on the tunnel walls. both are good though.
To me it’s no contest, I absolutely prefer the one on the right. The silhouettes of the father and son are more defined and mysterious. The boy in the hoodie adds an edge to the image. What is he doing there and is he a threat? Just a stunning image and very strong composition. It definitely earns a fav.
I prefer the one on the right, it has wonderful lighting. Although I think you can still achieve a lot in both during editing. In the one on the left I would brighten the shadows, but not all of them, only in spots. So as to obtain light lines leading along the sides of the tunnel. And maybe try to brighten the bottom of the figures a little bit, along with the path. Only these highlights have to be very delicate, barely visible. Try, the light is there, you just have to pull it out. In the right shot, you can see the difference in the lighting measurement point. Here, the measurement was made on the tunnel wall, which is why you have burnt out lights on the outside. It is enough to darken the highlights, but also in spots. When you do it all together, you will eliminate the lighting in the tunnel, but this light is wonderful. You can also try to slightly brighten the shadows on the path, as in the shot on the right. To sum up, both shots are a fantastic base for editing and you can still achieve a lot here.
I like them both and think each one worthy of a fav. However the one on the right for me just has the edge, with length of tunnel, light, the man and small boy seem so still as they wait for the boy lagging behind (I see mystery) why are the boys not rushing to be the first in the light.
I too like different things about each photo. I like the way the 3 are better spread and distinct on the right, but the left seems to tell a story. I like that both are walking into the light and make great silhouettes.
They are both good in their own way, I like the the one on the left and would lighten the shadows to give more defined brickwork,I also like the way the figures tell a story.
Thank you for going to the time and trouble of replying and choosing which you preferred. It was virtually an even choice between the one and the other. The reasons why you chose the left side nearly all involved the story telling aspects with all of the boys searching the roof for bats. The reasons given by people choosing the right side nearly all involved lighting and compositional factors. It was fascinating to read and clearly explained why this was such a difficult choice for me. It also provided possible ways of improving both images. So much to learn and so many wonderful people willing to offer help! Many, many thanks again.

It was virtually an even choice between the number of people choosing one or the other. The reasons you gave for choosing the right side nearly all involved lighting and compositional factors. Reading what you have said has been really helpful and highlighted for the me some of the technical aspects of photography that I need to try to master! The reasons why many people chose the left side nearly all involved the story telling aspects with all of the boys searching the roof for bats. It was fascinating to read the two different sets of feedback and it clearly explained why this was such a difficult choice for me. It also provided possible ways of improving both images.

Hi Haskar. I cannot thank you enough for your reasoned, wonderfully detailed feedback. I can see exactly what you are saying in your comments about the lighting in the left hand one - and, as you commented, I was using spot metering. I will remember this as a basic idea when editing - the darkness or brightness from the spot metering often causes the loss of lighting detail - and I can see how you are suggesting that it should be adjusted, or fine tuned, when editing! And, the reverse suggestions for the right hand side all make so much sense. By following your suggestions I think I could get the more 3 dimensional effect of the right hand side with the story telling effect of the left hand side. You have helped me learn so much with your generous advice and suggestions. Many thanks Rob :) @haskar
They each tell different story. If I were just looking at them not knowing the story I’d choose the right. But having looked at your next post of the graffiti (which I love) I think the one on the left tells more of the story.
