I like A better, B seems slightly underexposed or maybe it's just that there is less contrast and pop.

I like 'B'. The underexposure improves the appearance of the background wall and I also like the way that the bike casts a Praying Mantis-like shadow in that shot.

BUT... the bikes are not sharp enough in both images. They look grainy and fine detail has been lost. Maybe you posted up some low-res versions ?

To tell you the truth, I think your best shot is the 3rd pic... the setup shot. It also suffers from a lack of sharpness but I like the composition. Clean up that garage so there's no distractions in the shadows and you have a winner !

I can't get past that screen!

[Quarantine]

A seems to be the best in the bunch. though i must say, all seem under exposed and the harsh shadows ruin the shot

[DUCATIHIBBZ]

I think that 'b' is better, it is kind of "undercover Ducati" It might take someone a little longer to realize its a Ducati, if they are not intimately familiar with them... Plus it just looks sick!

I prefer "B." A doesn't do the bike justice as the sexy front end of the 748 looks elongated.

[SuicideHz]

I can't tell. They both look like the same bike.





:-P

J/K. I like A. You can see the texture of the concrete wall better which is a nice contrast to the bike.

+1. B shows the lines of the front fairing details best. A just emphasizes the seat, C is murky.
