Need help choosing for DSS18

Teal

I thought I had decided and had already uploaded the one I had chosen and then started tinkering with the image again. If you could, please help me decide between these two. Thanks so much!

I can see your dilemma! They are both gorgeous! I think I still prefer the current entry.

Teal

Yeah, I wasn't sure whether to go with more of the overexposed look or not with this challenge.
Thanks for your opinion.

#2 is high key; the other one is not.

Teal

hi-key ?
is it hi-key because there is a majority of white?

KurtPreston

#2 is the best one!

Well, yeah. You know, the blacks could be grayed even more in that second image. It's a judgment call, of course. But the first one looks quite normal. BTW, they are both excellent. But #2 is the closest to be identifiable as high key image, IMHO. A little less black and contrast would make it clearly so.

What a sweet face! #2 is better.

I also vote for #2.

Both are fantastic! I agree that 2 is best for this theme. I would probably choose 1 to hang. Beautiful work.

I love them both!!!! But, I think the eyes in #2 help make the picture stand out more than #1. Great Job

Teal

thank you
thank you guys. I decided on 2 and will cross my fingers.
