Poll: Which image do you prefer?

[Ham_authority95]

So, I need your guys' help with a project. I need to gather data and I figure I could get quite a few from here.

NOTE: Comments are also great but please, if you participate, PLEASE also answer the poll. It will make it easier on me to tally this. Thanks!

Basically, what I need you to do is tell me your gender and which version of the image you prefer.
Thank you!

Image 1:


Image 2:

Just curious, what class/course is this project for anyway?

 

[Vitor Goncalves]

Male and I prefer image 2. That image 1 with that pink... Oh my eyes!!

 

[NoblePhilistineFox]

I like 1(ima dude)
its pretty, the other one seems so dull and boring.
at may be embossed, but I dont care.

Male. Image 2. The edges are softer and it has more color. The colors blend together more smoothly as well.

 

[ACHVDragon]

The first one
Male

The blue is clearer and sticks out more

 

[Gather]

I'm male and I like image 2.

Did I fail?

Haha, no. There's no way to fail on this. xD

Lies, I can't even see the difference.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

I prefer image 2. The first one seems as though the color is oversaturated and detail is being lost.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Male and image 2. It looks more real to me, I guess.

 

[FalloutJack]

I...don't like botany, even though I am actually pretty good at it. Also, what happens if this is one of those plant species that is labeled in having genders itself?

 

[Capt. Crankypants]

Not sure what you're looking for out of this, but the resounding data I'm getting is boys outnumber girls 12.5 : 1
But we didn't need polls to tell us that

Anyway, I picked number 2 because the contrast isn't annoying, and the centre of the main flower looks ill.

 

[Bobkat1252]

I picked image 2 male, but I really couldn't see any difference between the images. I have very poor color reception in my eyes, similar shades of colors become the same to me such as navy blue and purple or green and brown.

 

[Deef]

Image one is too bright, it hurts my poor eyesies.
I like image 2 better because it's nicer to me.

 

[TheMightyImp]

I'm Male, and I like image 1 more. Simply because it is a little more artistic then the second one.

 

[iLikeHippos]

I'm yet another male who is 90% of the voters here evidentally...

I liked image 2 more than image 1 since image 1 seemed to have a much brighter color which didn't seem realistic to me.

I want things to be natural.

 

[inflamessoilwork]

Male, and I prefer the details in the second one

 

[teisjm]

Male, image 2.
The firts one just seems too saturated, and br. 2 seems to have a little more visual depth and detail due to not beeing so bright.

 

[The Almighty Aardvark]

This poll seems to be equally useful as a rough estimate of the guy to girl ratio on the escapist.

Male and image 2. The first one is too bright and chaotic, the second one is more soothing and natural.

 

[Kaltazraza]

nr 2 is more real looking

 

[photog212]

#2 Male
I'm not a fan of over saturation or any unnecessary photoshop.

 

[Cobbs]

am i to assume that this is an psychological experiment of some kind?
