Dancing in the rain-You be the editor and vote for a photo
Back on April 10th the Post-Dispatch published a photo or photos of mine. I’m not going to say if it was one photo or a series of photos because that will slant this poll. Anyway, I disagree with the final edit that ended up in the paper. So I figured I’d let people vote on it to decide. Hopefully you guys will prove me right or I’m going to hear about for a long time to come from the photo editor who made the call.
Photo A-
Thursday April 9, 2009–Margaret Henri(CQ) Smith, 7, dances in the rain outside her home in the Compton Heights neighborhood of south St. Louis city on Thursday. Wet weather is expected to continue through Friday, but will give way to sunny skies on Saturday. David Carson • dcarson@post-dispatch.com

Now you vote and tell us which photo should have run in the paper. If you want to explain your vote please feel to use the comments section to say why you like one over the other.
Thanks,
David

I really like the triptych, the sense of movement the three photos have when placed side by side by side is nice.
I think the single image in option A is actually the weakest of the three. So I have to go with the triptych. But if I were to pick a single it would be the image on the far right in option B.
But you do know that Chuck Scott, famous former picture editor at The Chicago Tribune and the founder of the School of Visual Communications at Ohio University, has always said that picture editing isn’t a team sport….

I have to agree with Ava, who has amazing analytical skills for a 4 year old. I would of chose the 2nd3rd image for the stand alone. It gives a sense of motion and playfullness of the girl.
That was supposed read the 3rd image not 2n3rd.
