Attention DPP Members, we would like to hear your opinions on the two selected photos posted here. The photographers are our very own Derick Gamboa and Aly Reyes. We won't tell you which photographer shot what photo but as you can see the subject is the same beautiful lady. Derick and Aly are photography buddies and it seems that they have taken the same Manny Librodo class. So vote and post DPP Members and let us know what photo you think is better and why. The best constructive comments will be printed in a future issue of DPP Magazine.

Photo 1

Voter #1.

Also voted for photo #1. My focus went straight to the model's angelic eyes, which seemed to beckon me to look at the other interesting features of the photograph. As if in trance, my eyes wandered and wondered at interplay of lights and shadows, along with the richness of the color (even as my monitor has some color bias). Nonetheless, my eyes led back to her eyes, and in the instant, I considered my day made.

Final edit: I guess, the one word to describe my experience is "MESMERIZED"

Both photo is Nice, Photo #2 got my Attention, As for me I really like the Portrait that the Subject is Not looking on the Camera, I just wish the Eyes is Sharp. About Post Processing BW vs Colored, It's just my Opinion that BW has better feel or Mood about Portraits.

Voted for Photo #2. Photo #1's model appeared bored & expressionless.

Photo # 2 for me. Sure not your usual photo where the model is looking straight at the camera. But it makes me wonder whats on her mind when she can strike a face like that. I guess tehe B&W take adds to that effect too.

Photo# 1 for me...

Wow, this is a bit close... But I would go for Photo 2.

My reasons are simply are:
- its Black and white (i'm such a sucker for B+W)
- Photo2 is very candid, as if the subject wasn't really posing compared to Photo1 which looks to pictorialistic to me.
- In photo1 there is a stream of light in the middle of the photo (right of the model), which i find distracting.
