Which is better? I don’t know 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have about a case of these waters at my house right now. They’re the left overs of what I’ve affectionally
started referring to as our “panic waters”. Last February Texas was hit with what felt like an unprecedented snow
storm. It wasn’t the amount of snow we received, but the fact that there were infrastructure problems in our power
and water grid that caused a lot of our cities to loose power and water for an extended number of days. Is anybody
really prepared for those conditions in our blessed country? Apart from those who live off grid, of course? Anyway,
my husbands office gave cases of these waters to employees to get us through our time without water.

Back story aside, I was looking for something around the house I could photograph to make an image pattern with,
and also give my clients an idea of how different colored backdrops can add interest to their hero images. So, which
is better? The white backdrop? or the peppermint?

Personally I like the peppermint backdrop. Don’t get me wrong that bright white backdrop is beautiful, but the peppermint in my opinion allows the water bottle to pop in a different way. And they’d both be compelling in an
e-commerce gallery, so really do you have to choose? The same can be said for the patterned images. They’re both equally cool images. Which is right? It all depends on who the client in and what catches their eye.

The great thing about pattern images is that I only need to have one physical item. So, while I have a case of these water bottles, these images were created using only one.
