Please help me choose one or the other for Stranger. Thanks!

Although the woman in the foreground is my sister, she is now a stranger to all who knew her and still love her.

1. #1

While both are very good, the top one... I can't put my finger on it. It shows more of a story.

2. The top one is the one in my opinion N/T

3. I go for the first as well

I like both a lot, but the first one more fits the theme, as the detachment is more front and center.

4. At first I thought the second one, but then I thought the first one, but...

This is a really hard one. I like the direct look into the camera of the second, but I like the sharper background of the first which adds to the three-person portrait.

And the title, which ever photo you use, has to be: She is now a stranger to all who knew her.

5. Piping in once more: I agree with the title of you and NV Whino - and want to

say that the second one seemingly makes her look focused and "with it", which belies what you know. That's why I chose number 1.

6. The second one

There's a sadness in her eyes that really touches me.

I'm sorry your sister is now a stranger. That must be very difficult. :hug:

7. I like the second one, as well.

9. Well, the first one wins by one so far...

I think the first one is more powerful and a bit more thought provocative. Thanks to everyone for your input!
