A tale of two photos

Here's the other photo

Here's the situation. You have two great photos of a 21-month-old girl tugging at the reins of her pet llama as she and her grandfather stroll down Main Street. Not a scene you see everyday. Problem is, you can't decide which photo you like the best.

One shot is from the front. It shows facial expressions and the action moves toward you. The other shot is from the back. No faces in view. The subjects could represent anyone...you and your own granddaughter, or your neighbor's, for example. The action passes you by and heads into the distance.

You may only treat one photo as the "feature photo." Both shots are prize winners, in your opinion. Which one do you feature? It's like flipping a coin. After too much thought we chose the "action-passed-you-by" shot.

But, the first shot is still pretty strong. Strong enough to linger and work on your mind. So, the only solution is this: show the viewers both photos.

Here's the other shot. See what we mean? Tough call all the way around.
