Yesterday I had a great shoot with Brandi and Kelly of mucho bueno. We came up with an idea to showcase some of their jewelry with the help of Ginny (our model for the day and a talented make-up artist as well) There was one particular shot I really wanted to get and then work around that concept for the rest of the shots.. I loved what we got. I mostly shot with the natural light, but in a couple of the shots I blasted Ginny with a hot flash right at her face ;) Below is one frame shot with the hot flash and then natural light.. 

The image on the left was shot at: [NO RETOUCHING]
[ISO 1600] [F2.8] [1/60TH] [WB SET TO DAYLIGHT]

The image on the right was shot at: [PUT A FADE OVER THE IMAGE IN POST]
[ISO 320] [F8] [1/200TH] [WB SET TO AUTO]

So my question to you is which one do you prefer?? Tell me what you like and don't like about the images.. I can't wait to hear back from you..

Cheers

Left, I like back lit - more natural, less fake.

#1/Left for sure. I initially was drawn to the image on the right. (like how the blacks are lifted and it's slightly overexposed) but something about the image on the left feels much more organic and real. I'd imagine the image on the left in an urban outfitters catalogue. i do like the framing and composition of the image on the right better though.

all that said - i think the image on the left is more flattering to her facial features and body structure...and therefore makes a more appealing photo. the backlight makes her and the antlers pop too.

woot

initially I liked the one on the left, but the one on the right seems somehow more of the now.

I prefer the one on the right... looks like something Terry Richardson would shoot ;-) ...and I mean that as a compliment.

I like back lit. I'm curious what that one would have looked like with a *little* fill flash...

Also, I'm with D-Dub -- I'd like to see the left image with a little exposure adjustment and the same fade action you used on the right-hand photo.

And, yes, her stance/face is better in the right-hand one...

I like the left one more just brighten the exposure (in my opinion) and the left will rock.

# 2 for sure!! Has a more high fashion feel to it. But, she also has a better stance and face in #2 which really makes it that much better.

The left one calls to me as far as compensation and distance from the subject, but the style and light of the right is my fav.
