Title: Does one have more "emotion"?
Post by: Todd Suttles on May 31, 2016, 12:50:46 am

Just wondering if one of these images conveys the race track / event as having a stronger pull on the kid, to you?

The bottom one has him looking at something I can't see, and that makes it appear that he's more interested than he is in the first one

The first image shows more connection between the person looking through the fence and the car on the track.

I don't know if "emotion" is the term I would use.  But I find the first picture more interesting.  There is a connection between the model and the car and therefore a connection to me as the viewer.

The second picture separates me from the model as I am "seeing" something the model is not focusing on.
