I'm seeking input for a cover shot of a Wildlife Refuge location. The video will have mostly birds and wildlife in the refuge.



Thus, I have 3 cover shots, but can't decide on the one to use. Perhaps you can help decide. Thanks.

Cover #1

Cover shot 1
Cover shot 1



Below, cover shot #2

Cover shot 2
Cover shot 2

Below cover shot #3

Cover shot 3
Cover shot 3

Thank you.
 
What does it look like with the font and color of the first two shots placed onto the third shot?
 
Or maybe just the font but in the new color scheme?

THank you. Yes I wanted to keep the font thin for the wide pano on #3. I've tested a few colors and boarders on the font, but will try more contrasting colors to the yellow/orange.

I might try the thin fonts for the first two covers.

My thoughts exactly! You don't want to block the view.

So #3 would be my pick. After that #1 then #2. Those first two seem a little dark to me, so if they were brightened I might go with #1.

Thanks NikonNature. I agree, #3 is one of my favorites. With the other covers, I darken the scene to help the fonts stand out more from the scene, hopefully making it easier to read.

I might go back and try to re-arrange the titles and brighten it up.

Thanks.

Oh I see. I suppose there are a lot of options, such as creating a frame with a dark background to make the text stand out, but that might start to look busy. Honestly, I really like #3 as is, so no need to overthink it.
