I like Adams, but I like Lissitzky more.
Adams all the way for me.
Adams
Lissitzky, I guess. They're hard to compare, though.
Apples v. Oranges!
Adams' Apples for me.
Groan. I like these two so much for such different reasons. This match-up really is like apples and oranges to me. They're both tasty! The Lissitzky... for now...
I have to vote for Adams, but I do like Lissitzky!
This is a killer. And, yes, it's kind of cool they're even from the same planet. One wants to throw a dinner party, just to have them sit next to each other. I have to go with El Lissitzky. (I have a hard time leaving off his first name, since for decades I always heard it together, and still tend to think of him as, you know, something like "El Toro" or "El Loco." Yes, despite the salient Russianitude.)
Tough and weird one. I'll say (flips coin) Lissitzky.
I will take old Ansel in this one. Way to crush those landscapes! Get it!
Two Lissizky votes for Linda and Mariah on the Facebook feed.
Lissitzky, says Susan.
I'm joining the Lissizky wave.
I'm not always pro-Adams, and I do like the Lissitzky, but today it's Adams.
After a tough contest, Lissitzky piled up some votes towards the end to claim victory with 9 votes against 6. Mr. Adams will have to see if he can stay alive in the Left Bracket.
How could photography compare with composition???
There's a school of thought that holds they aren't mutually exclusive...
