Greetings!!

To be honest, neither. I like the look of 'A' a lot, but I feel it really doesn't say 'table', I like that 'B' clearly shows what it is, but the words are distracting.

I do like the 'rack' and think if you could incorporate the image to somehow have one of the angles of the triangle pointing directly toward the "pledge" button on your page it might help out... maybe. Just a silly 'artistic' idea. Using shapes to lead the eyes. Since you have a lot of lines and hard shapes, if you kind of have them lead the viewers attention to the "pledge" button it might help out. Who knows? =P

Maybe more of a downward angle of the table. A lot of the 2nd image has just the legs and negative space, which is a waste I think. People understand tables have legs, and unless your legs are super important, I would try to crop them.

Maybe try a 'POV' shot from the person's perspective while playing. Something like [/\] (sorry, at work and can't make images). Then you could maybe list some of your features in the top corners to eat up some negative space with useful info.

By all means I'm no professional framer of photography so take it with a grain of sand. =]

Thanks,
Brad!!

The upper right image in the one below might get good click through.

P.S. Love that you are using surveys on the forum to get feedback! I will try to make more members aware of this feature.

What a cool idea! I would love to play on this table, it would be intense. I voted for image 'A' because when I saw the cup formation I was immediately reminded of beer pong, and then with the LED lights I knew what the product was. While image 'B' made me look closely to make sure it wasn't some type of board game table.

Thanks everyone, A seems to be winning 2:1 on Facebook so that will be my first choice.
@bradAnderson - thanks, I'll play with that idea and see if I can come up with something interesting.

A gets the vote from me too. Like RXQueen the formation is recongnisable and while the rest isn't immediately obvious, it's less fussy than B.
