Which One?
It’s time to select an image to be used for the Jerome Grant press, and I am having a hard time deciding.
The pieces that were recently photographed are still rather new to me, and I’m not sure that I see them clearly for what they really are…especialy when I see that some of my very delicate details may not be so apparent in the images here. This makes me question even more how something may appear in print (that may or may not be of the highest quality).
So all of you who have not seen the pieces shown here in the reals, are being asked to weigh in. Please leave a comment below as to which image you think might be the best one to use for press.
Gratitude to you in advance!

i am voting for #3 — mainly because the composition and light really shows off the shape and depth of the piece. they are all great but this one seems it for me. by the way, i absolutely love these. your work continues to blow me away. xoxo

They are all strong and beautiful (like a yogi I know). I say #2.

# 3 for sure cynthia. They all look amazing, but there is something about #3…it almost looks like turned wood. really a quiet and stunning piece.

#3 has the best lighting, etc. for showing off the form. Lovely series! Really like the gray piece. Good luck!

#2 is my favorite, followed by #3. I think #1 may be one that needs to be seen ‘in person’, even though I feel like I can “see it”, because I am familiar with your work.

Hi Cynthia! My two cents: Given the nature of the NCC publicity (and the fact that this may end up in black and white) I would go with #2. I think that sliver of black is striking and will help give some definition to the piece regardless of whether it’s in color or not. That said, they are all lovely, and I do like the angle Peter shot #3…

i’m thinking #2…just a first impression thing. cheers!

I was thinking the same thing as Kip and would go with #2 if there’s a chance the photo will be converted to b&w. Otherwise, #3. Sorry, #1! Good luck on the decision, Cynthia. You’ll make the right choice.

I may be too late, but I’ll weigh in anyway. My 1st glance thought would be #2. The dark mark grabs your attention. Then I thought #3, still enough color to grab attention but more details. BUT after looking a while I’m in love with #1. It really depends on the publication. Does it get front and center by itself? Then #1. Is it mashed with a bunch of other photographs? Then #2. Somewhere between? #3. Not sure that helps and you’ve probably already chosen by now. But no matter what they’re all fabulous.
