Which Background Paper Works Best?

[Amberpony]

Funny on my laptop the LO looks fine the first way. But when I put it up on the flat screen the LO seemed to Bright!
Which on do you think is better the orignal paper or the on that is altered?

I like the lighter one because it makes the photo more prominent - the eyes go directly to the white dog - which is your goal, right?

I like both of them. I like the way the picture pops off the page on the lighter one. But I also like everthing matching
I am not used to the look of The Big White Dog (Cody) shaved so That might be what is making me hesitate on the lighter BG

The fact that because I was doing a Challenge and copying the X behind the photo, I have only done this a few times before. This also might be my hesitation on this Page. The darker BG subdues the X.

Thanks for the fun input I have recieved So Far.

I like the first, birghter one better,
the colors are much more friendly than the other one.
the second one is a little bit too cool for my taste.

I like the first lighter one too, pops the photo more!! Even though they both look great. I know what you mean by the layout looking fine on your laptop and then too bright on another screen, I have the same experience a lot!!
Hope we've helped!

Thanks for all the input

I do like the way the photo Pops on the light BG
I think I might try removeing the X and try something else.
You do you thin?
