Loved looking through the collection! There’s one thing that influences my decisions in this sort of scenario where multiple pictures will be used in one product: how do they look all together? Let’s say 3 of the 6 cards are dominated by a yellow color, and they are arranged/advertised/stacked in such a way that the yellow ones are the first three. The impact of the first one is great. The second one not so much. There’s no contrast between the first and the second. The third is starting to feel “the same ol'”. They could all be stunning pictures, but if similar are together, then they tend to lose impact. If the 3 similarly-colored photos are scattered throughout, then there’s more contrast as the viewer goes from shot to shot.
And color is not the only factor. Think close/far, detailed/spacious, in focus/out of focus, left weighted/right weighted, dark/light, vertical/horizontal etc. The more contrasts there are between photos as folks flip through them, the better I’d say. And yet, it’s also nice when there’s a theme, like all vertical, or all b&w, or all scenic photos. There’s that balance too. I would try to have symmetry too somehow in vertical vs. horizontal, like every-other or something.
So I run into this all the time with a calendar. It’s hard not to get 3 blue photos lined up for Jan, Feb, Mar. Or three orange pictures lined up for Sep, Oct, Nov. Or all waterfalls in the summer months.
So, my favorites are the following, and depending on how they are arranged (which I can’t see here), I might swap out one or two with the list of second favorites.
#3 – seems really sharp and is very artistic looking
#5 – I just like the composition and colors (though it might be too similar looking to #6 to fit in with the bunch)
#6 – the centered composition is awesome; who doesn’t love a beautiful ocean sunset?
#7 – though the bridge feels empty, I like the nostalgic feeling; makes for a good generic card I’d say
#11 – the circular shape just really attracts the eye, and the snow is really beautiful
#12 – I feel like I want to be there
Second favorites:
#2 – there’s something that’s attractive to me about this; not sure how stunning it would be on a card
#8 – feels like a standard snapshot due to angle and composition, but maybe saturated up a bit would help. It’s a wow location for sure.
#10 – doesn’t feel natural in color as it’s edited, and not sure if it’s sharp, but it’s a really neat subject
