One the Weber - Which one is better?

[mtbbrian]

I am having a hard time deciding which one I like better.
This one?


Or this one?


It's pronounced We-Ber, by the way...

Thanks!

Why decide? If you like them both, you like them both.

These two pictures look like they have venyetting and I looked at a few in you gallery and they have it also. Is this something you are doing intentionally or is it something you can eliminate, Jeff

Faster than an f 1.0 lens! More powerful than Photoshop CS4! HolgaMan strikes again!

Seriously, if it were a choice, I go with the first - for the simple reason that you can see he is fly-fishing. In the second one it is a little unclear who he is or what he is doing.

Cheers

The vignetting occurs naturally because of the camera I am using, as is the case for the softer focus and the light leaks. I am using a Holga camera.
Holgas are often thought of as a toy camera. If you'd like to know more about Holgas or other toy cameras contact me and I'd be happy to talk to you more about them.
Thanks for yours everyone elses comments!

I like the first photo, but I can't tell you why. Perhaps it's the branch helping to frame the shot, not sure.

No doubt for me it's number 1. Tells the story and is naturally framed. Nice work from the King of the Holga.

I prefer the first one. But nothing wrong with either.

#1 for me too

Definetely #1 for me. Mike summed it up as I thought as well. I also like the trees against the blown out sky .
