Poll: Which image do you prefer?

[LeonLethality]

I like the vibrant colours in image one so I chose that.

 

[v3n0mat3]

Male. I like image 2. The detail is more captivating to me.

 

[Booze Zombie]

Number 2, it's darker and I'm male.
Let me guess, women like lighter colours or something like that?

 

[erbkaiser]

Male 2. If you need a justification: the colours in image 1 are too bright, 2 looks more natural and pleasing.

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 2:

So I have to ask... which image is the one that means psychologically we'll most likely become serial killers in the near future?

 

[The1Krutz]

Male, image 2
The first one looks like it's been processed a couple times to artificially saturate the colors. Not a big fan of that effect; A photograph should just be a photograph.

 

[Shifty Tortoise]

2 has more depth me thinks... me like

 

[TriggerHappyAngel]

Male here, i like the first one more, because it is more colorful :]

 

[Lieju]

I'm female, and I like the second pic better.

Usually I prefer bright colours, but the contrast between the blue and violet in the first one hurts my eyes.

 

[Omegatronacles]

I'm male, and I prefer image 2. The colours are more natural. The extra contrast on the first image makes it seem garish.

 

[Captain_Caveman]

the top image is oversaturated, there's loss in detail. so i'm picking #2.

 

[Silent Eagle]

I like the 1st image cuz the blue in the background (at least i think it blue) looks better.
I'm a male btw
I like the brighter colors

 

[legion431]

Image 1, male.
I see the difference in the picture. May I ask what it is for.

 

[Trivun]

Oddly enough, despite the oversaturation, I prefer the first image to the second one. The second just seems a little too 'dull' for me, with regards to the colours...

Male, by the way, if you didn't already know...

 

[Custard_Angel]

Would have thought males would prefer the more dull colors, and it seems they do so far, but its hardly as conclusive as I thought. 208:155 at the moment by the way.

 

[Sun Flash]

Female, 1, bright colours.

Bish bash bosh.

 

[tzimize]

Male, voted image two.

Reasoning: I found picture one to be more eye-cathcing/interesting. But the intense colors are stressful to look at over time, so for a wallpaper purpose (for example) I would like the second one. Easier on the eyes.

 

[Idlemessiah]

Voted image 2 and I'm male. Purely because the 1st image looks obviously photoshopped.

 

[Pegghead]

Image one and I'm a male, it's just much sharper and brighter than the other image.
