Just wanted to see if I could get some totally objective opinions on 2 commercial headshots. I can't decide and all my friends and family are split to. Little short on $$ right now so I can only print 1 of them. Thanks for taking the time to look!

I would pick the first one.

It's a more flattering angle.

Good luck to you.

Best,

I like the first one. However the shirt is a bit distracting as far as its tone. I would ask the photographer to desaturate the blue a bit. Also the undershirt should be a solid tone. Little bits for next time. I like your face better in the first one.

These are excellent commercial headshots.

I prefer the top one.

Looks like it's a slam dunk!!

Thank you all for the input...it looks like the decision is unanimous...number 1's the winner!

And thanks HMP for the "little bits" of advice for next time, I will definitely keep those in mind.

Take care everyone!!

The first one is, in my newbie opinion, the best.

out of the two, the first one. but you need "eye contact".

you make me want to know why you are looking at my chin.

i went with Robin Emtage and think she is absolutely fantastic, i definitely recommend her - www.robinemtage.com

i did the "3 Looks" option for $345, and she ended up giving me a couple extra ones because we layered the clothing so i would just take a layer off and have a different "look".

thanks for your input Smiler
