Which drop shadow works best??

shadow 1 - http://www.stuart-twigger.co.uk/djcheeky/index1.html

shadow 2 - http://www.stuart-twigger.co.uk/djcheeky/index2.html

thanks

[usagi]

i would say the first one...

[stu_t]

does the image give off a realistic feel?

[MTsoul]

Yeah def the first one. The second one seems to have a hard light. The first one is more natural.

[Anogar]

I vote #1 also.

[Frazer1]

Index1 is far more realistic.

[Jeff Wheeler]

Surprisingly, I think #1 is too subtle. The shadow looks great for some reason in #2…

[Frazer1]

The first rule of design: Less is more...:smirk2:

[esnetni]

yea definatly #1.
The second one has way to much shadow and not too realistic.:mu:

now if you go about asking how each and every filter on ps added looks, there would be a gazillion threads on this forum
the first look sgood btw

Edit: i was going to reply, but then i realized how meaningless this is. come on! the two pictures are almost identical! if this is the pivot point of your website, you got some seeerious s**t coming on. Some times, you just have to look at your picture and say, yeah this is good and move on. Flip a coin and focus on something else.

Well now, i think overlooking the little things like this is what makes a bad designer. I definately noticed a difference between the two(1st does look best btw) and so does the average person. Although it may not seem to be a huge deal right away, eye appeal can definately make a sale, especially for the average consumer.

Good eye Stu_t.

[mikken]

of course i noticed the difference, but both looks like decks floating over wood. I'm not saying one should ignore this detail; i'm saying it's not something to spend time on, and most important, a detail one should be able to work out alone.

But i agree with you, it's the little things that count. Like Ludwig Mies van der Rohe said: God is in the details.

[stu_t]

i disagree!!

attention to detail is important in my eyes! therefore trying to get the shadows right matters to me!!

[thesparky007]

attention to detail is important in my eyes! therefore trying to get the shadows right matters to me!!i agree! detail is important, my point and mikken's point is , i hope, that you cant ask people how they like everything in a website, and make a thread for every detail you add to it.
again, its just my opinion, if the mods are ok with that then i am fine too! :lol:

[evildrummer]

Number 1, but do you really need a a thread for this, could you just ask a friend?

[lorren.biffin]

Sorry Mikken, wasnt trying to throw you comment out, just thought I'd put my two cents in. :P
