Production- boost Image

I have looked at the brightness and contrast of my boost Image and made it lighter and darker.. then asked for feedback on which one looked better.

< This is the original image which was selected.

This image has not been brightened or darkened, which is what I did in  photo shop to see the effects and whether it made a difference












This is when I brightened the image >

Alex: I think that overall it looks good but it does not connote a sophisticated audience.

Alistair: looks good. although looks a bit too bright and I do not think it will appeal to your target audience.

Mildred: I do not like this picture as it is too bright, when you add the information for the stories , they may not be clear enough. A darker image would be most suitable.

<This is when I darkened the image.

Alex- 'I like this one better out of the too. It seems more professional and targets your audience more clearly.'

Alistair: This image looks a lot more professional than the other image you showed me.
