just my socks.

March 22nd, 2011
so, i've never had this problem before...well, i've always been able to solve it, that is.

i usually take a bajillion photos, narrow the bunch down to a few, edit those, then pick one. and it usually isn't a super hard choice. today...i COULD NOT decide!!

and its just my socks :P

i uploaded them both to my extra album...maybe its silly because they are so similar, but i couldn't choose! the editing is what sets them apart more so then that they are different shots.

sooo, if this was your dilemma, your shots...which would you pick and why? the why is more important so that i can learn..learning's the goal :)

I love the sky in the second one, but both are cute!
March 22nd, 2011
I'll take the first because I like the clarity and the pose. It also looks like you were at the edge of the water and the shrubs were the reflections. 2nd one has a bit of drama so I'll choose that one too! hahaha, its very hard :D
March 22nd, 2011
@indiannie_jones @ggg thanks, guys....i am staring at them side by side and still can't pick. i loveee the sky in the second one too...but the pose in the first...i wanna combine them!!
March 22nd, 2011
Actually, yeah, the colors in them pop beautifully in the first. I understand the dilemma!
March 22nd, 2011
@indiannie_jones hahaha, well at least i'm not the only one...lol. i thought i was being silly, and someone would tell me one was obviously better than the other. so i feel less silly now :)

I love the sky in the second one, but I like the crispness of the socks in the first picture. It reminds me of finishing up a long hike and sitting on the deck having a beverage. So the first.
March 22nd, 2011
No, I really do! At first I was convinced the second, but then I looked again and liked the socks in the first :s
March 22nd, 2011
@brumbe yes, the tone of the first is way more...fun, maybe? relaxin? the second has a completely different tone...drama in a way, i guess.
lol...i don't even know!
March 22nd, 2011
I think the background in the first matches the socks personality a bit more. Bright colorful pattenred socks work with the more vibrant background.
March 22nd, 2011
Sorry, hit return to quickly, When I saw them on my home feed, I actually liked the first one more at first reaction.
March 22nd, 2011
I like the first one just a little more than the second...but yeah, I like them both for different reasons so I can understand why you can't choose! :)
March 22nd, 2011
To me, the color pop in the first one matches the fun/funky feel of the socks. While the sky is great in the 2nd one, it seems a contrast in ideologies with the diminished color and lesser sharpness.
March 22nd, 2011
I choose #2. Composition is better to me, I like the toe pointing the sky. And the sky looks very nice in the 2nd pic. Also the socks pop out better because the bushes/trees are not visible. The colors look better to me also in the 2nd one, quite natural and calm tones, contrasting the busy patterns and colors of the socks.
March 22nd, 2011
I'm no professional or anything but I find the first more appealing. I like the colors and the clarity. Bright socks, bright background but that's just me. They are both good though and they are very cute socks!
March 22nd, 2011
I prefer the second one to :)
March 22nd, 2011
@brumbe @ericaleigh017 @tkallen @janmaki @lr86365 @lalola616 well.....everyone makes good points!! lol....1's overall tone does go with the socks more....but 2...there's just something about 2. i think when i really boil it down, i lean more towards 2. but still!! ah, i like them both. i'm just going to settle on liking them both. lol. thanks for helping....i understand some things now...like, have the props mesh with the tone. thanks everyone!
March 22nd, 2011
I prefer the first one haha!
March 22nd, 2011
I like the first one because the socks are so bright and this shot is much brighter showing the awesome socks off more!
March 22nd, 2011
I prefer the 2nd one with the more soft, dreamy colours - makes it look more relaxed
March 22nd, 2011
I like the first one. The colors of the trees really accent the green in the socks!
March 22nd, 2011
@positronicmommy ah, good point!! didn't notice that before :)
@tnaki today, i prefer that one as well...i think because it goes with my mood.
@stelladejong @jessleeca thanks guys :) man, i really like that one too!! lol.
March 22nd, 2011
I´d go for the first one because of the fresh coloring. I think it matches the socks well and brings out the color in them, Maybe cropped like the second one?
March 22nd, 2011
I see your problem, the colours in 1 are awesome and the pose is better but the sky in 2 is nicer....I'd maybe go with 1.
March 22nd, 2011
BTW I LOVE those socks! lol
March 22nd, 2011
@chrisra cropping may help...thanks!
@amz87 thanks!!
March 22nd, 2011
I like the first one because of the coloring, and you can see the view better. I also love your socks!
March 22nd, 2011
#1 because it's crisper and more vibrant :)
March 22nd, 2011
@kelseyyx23 thanks :) @cocorose thank you!! i think the overall consensus is #1...but i haven't counted :) lol
March 22nd, 2011
I love socks too ..this are mine
March 22nd, 2011
@catalfonso yay!!! i love fun socks!! so cute :)
March 22nd, 2011
I love the first one - the clarity of the socks really draws your attention to them.
March 22nd, 2011
I agree with @sarawaltz .. the clarity of the first one makes it my favorite of the two.
March 22nd, 2011
@sarawaltz @csievert thanks for the feedback guys :) i go back and forth every five minutes. lol!
March 22nd, 2011
I love them both but i say number 2... i think , this is a hard one lol!
March 23rd, 2011
@harley84 hahaha, meee tooo!!!
March 23rd, 2011
ha ha!! I caused a dilemma!!! :D
March 23rd, 2011
@canberrabec you did!!! lol :D
March 23rd, 2011
I'd say number 1.. the colours are brighter etc and it is more eye-catching than number 2 :)
