Thread: Help me pick a photo! I added a third one...

I can only pick one for a canvas wrap. I've narrowed it down to these 3. PLEASE help me decide! It will be a 16x20 canvas gallery wrap, so it needs to be something I'll be happy to look at for a long time. I like them both for very different reasons. Help?

I personally like the first one (white background) the best. I think it would look great blown up to a nice canvas print.

I'd pick the red one because it has more energy. Your smile is fresher and more engaging (although in both you are not looking at the camera ;-( ) and the pose seems more spontaneous. Also, with the red on a white background, it is more likely to match many decors. It think the yellow, while it's a lovely image, is too melancholic and stiff/posed to be your one and only large representation of your talents and your passion.

That's my 2 cents which is worth very little since this endeavour is to please you!

I agree that the red one with the white background is the one I would go for too.

It just looks a bit more natural, as well as being striking.

Both very nice though!

I like the gold one better. I can see your face better. The pose looks more classic: you already look like a work of art! I also like the lighting in it as well; there is a nice contrast between light and dark.

I also like the gold better. The red one looks like a photograph. The gold one looks like art.

I think the gold one looks more "painterly," so it would look better on a canvas. They are both lovely, but I think the white background is too plain for something on canvas.

I added a third option. In other words, I'm backtracking now! I am leaning towards the red only because it is sort of timeless on the plain background. I love the green because my eyes are so vivid. I like the gold because it looks like art. But, the red is timeless. AND the red is post-baby and I'm sort of proud of that...

for me personally the red is more of a photo photo aka leave on yummy glossy paper and hang.

i like the green a lot but it doesnt quite say CANVAS like the gold and it looks a little too PS for it to be on canvas (TOTALLY MY RANDOM ODD OPINION and not meant in any sort of bad way)

so my vote would be for the gold because it looks most like something you would see on a canvas as a painting and has a great serienty but i know something you dont know at the same time :)

but at the same time it sounds like you really want the red one so id say go with what you really want and not what we say cuz your the one who has to stare at it :D

I vote for the gold. I think it would be amazing on canvas and you would not ever tire of it

My husband likes the gold best, too, for canvas. Hmmm...

You look great in all three photos, and all of your costumes are beautiful. However, since this will be a canvas wrap, I think the gold is the best choice. The background is the little extra something that, as dunyah said, will make the final product look "painterly."

White may go with everything, but speaking as someone who used to process hundreds of orders for canvas wraps, it really doesn't look that great.

I still like the gold one the best. You look like a Sandro Botticelli painting!

I will say the red! Beautiful!!!

Thanks everyone! I ended up ordering the gold. Ultimately, I do think it will look better on canvas. It also helps that it is a bit higher resolution image, and will enlarge really nicely.

I think that you made the right decision. They are all gorgeous pictures. As photographs, I like the red one the best. On canvas, the one you ordered is my favorite. It's going to be stunning!

I agree with the "Go for the gold" girls!

I agree! I think you look like a painting already in the gold one. It is sweet and peaceful.
