I posted the second of these below and titled it "Positive" but am not thrilled with it. Attached as the first picture is a decidedly more...disturbing take on this theme.

I would appreciate any and all comments and / or preferences.

Thanks,

Scott

    definitely prefer the second as it says "change" to me more than the first one does. The first one doesn't convince me that she's not going to take a shot as soon as the camera isn't looking :) Hope that helps...

    i don't know, I think the first entry was a bit too safe. There are lots of thought provoking entries thus far.

    The second (lone woman) shot leaves something to the imagination. Is she devastated she's pregnant? Is she contemplating the changes she's going to have to make (giving up alcohol/facing recovery)? Is she not pregnant and fed up with the whole process...debating whether to get wasted to escape the disappointment?

    It's a moving picture, and resonates with me personally.

    I think the top image (lone woman) is the stronger of the two. I like images that ask questions and that one does.

    The top image...
    The top image is the strongest... because of the lighting brining out the strong elements in the picture; I could see right away what the image might be conveying… I had to look at the bottom image for a few seconds before I understood… The top image was immediate... I like the fact that it could have more than one outcome…
