    Second one. Dunno why.

    Had to look for a long time to discover why I’m more drawn to #2. = mystery.

    #1 has a very interesting tension and contrast between the two characters. She’s looking at him and is very white and bland. He’s engrossed with himself and very dark and stark. But they aren’t doing anything together.

    #2 two has two women communciating in some hidden manner. One is fresh with youth, the other a bit dowdy under the umbrella.

    In #1 March 20th is blaring out out me. What does it contribute? When I erased it, in my mind, I still couldn’t find a story line between the characters.

    #2 If the frame was a touch to the right, the distracting second image would be removed from the left and the white sign would be more of a lead in from the right.

    #2 is very captivating, while #1 is just a snap.

    Of course these are just my feeble thoughts and opinions.

    I prefer the 2nd one, the only person that can see him/her is the poster.
    With the first one the sign behind the man is too distracting.

    Def number 2. Howeve, I agree with the cropping out of the second image in the poster as it is distracting.

    #2 – like most horror films it’s what you don’t see that has more impact. Nice capture Kevin.

    Thanks folks! :D

    I felt the same way, but I wasn’t sure if the intrigue worked or not. Thanks for the feedback.

    Hey Kev agree with the majority its the second for me too. Even from a technical point of view its better regards sharpness and the mystery does add to the shot

    2, it’s sharp.

    Number 2 by a long shot.

    The poster doesn’t bother me. Maybe the woman can see the face we cannot see.
