    Image feedback...

    Guys and Gals,

    READ THIS AND CLICK ON LINK BEFORE VOTING

    We're debating whether or not to re-do the "static product photos" on our site. By "Static Product Photos", I mean the ones of a product on a grey background (like sporrans). We're doing a test and would like some feedback. I re-took photos of 2 day sporrans on a WHITE background, cropped them and saved them on our site. I also simply cropped existing photos of 2 sporrans on our current grey background and made them square (and fill up the space better). I left the rest of them "as is" (wider than tall). If you click on the link below and scroll 1/2 way down the page, you'll see what I'm referring to.

    http://www.usakilts.com/kilt-accesso...y-sporran.html

    That being said, which way do you like the images on our site?

    1. "As is" / wide version
    2. Squared and zoomed on GREY background
    3. Squared and zoomed on WHITE background

    Please vote for the one style / background color you like best. Thanks!

    Look 1/2 way down the page at the 4th row. The images are square and larger. What I'm asking is which style (square / larger or wide / shorter) and which color background do you like better.

    Also, if you'd be so kind, give me some reasons why you like one more or less than another.

    Number two. I like the cropped and zoomed because it gives greater detail and the grey back ground is just more pleasing to my eye.

    Rocky,

    Guess I like following the crowd here. Option 2 is easier for me to see. Really thought I would pick the white background. Now I want to buy another sporran! By the way, the new webdesign for the sight is great.

    Have a good week.

    Zoomed in Gray. Shows better contrast of the details, looks more balanced. Gives better idea of how it could look against a kilt.
