thats a tough choice... hmmm... 1! no 2!... errr... 1! ok, ok... I like the font in 2's, nice classy candle shot, although 1 looks cute & I like the step back/dof in the compo... I can't decide either :p

Hmmm - it is a tough one. I really love #2 - simple and meaningful - then there's #2 - has a bit more 'Christmas Feel"....but could be a bit more saturated...? Saturate it a bit more and I go for #1! Wolf

Both are really nice but i would go for #2 It has better dof imo, at least more functional... The background in #2 is nice and quiet so the subject really gets all the attention. Oh, and you might want to give it a border, if you havent considered that yet just try it and see how it looks :o) Good luck and happy holidays :o) Jeroen

I like the classic feel of #2. The font is also better. But, IMO, the font you used for the names doesn't really fit the feel. Seems like it would be better with a handwriting font or something. -=>Donald

cynlee - Thanks, I think Wolf - I really did not notice it before, but #1 really needs more saturation. Thanks! Enmos - Thanks for the idea of a border! Donald - I struggled with the font on #2. I wanted to use the same font but it got lost in the background. If I add a border I could put the names there. I will also try and find a nice signature font. Thanks everyone for you comments!

Randy - Take a look at the Park Avenue BT font. One of my favorites (it's the one I use for my signature in my images). Has a nice classic, handwritten look.
