Something isn't quite right with this image

There is too much yellow in the picture. Do you have a different photo with the personal alarm that does not have the yellow coat?

Hi Ray,
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately not. I had actually thought of asking the client if he could simply send a photo of the device on a neutral background then I could add it to the right hand corner. I have tried making the background photo b&w too... then again I may simply need a totally different background photo or none at all and just a photo of the device in the hero image.

The more I look at it, the more I don't like the background photo to be honest.

Andy, I desaturated the jacket yellow and searched for a SureSafe image on-line.

I'm sure you could do better with the supplier.

I agree with what has been said in as much as the yellow is overpowering and the alarm in the picture is just not crisp and clear enough; not sure you can do a lot about that with the image you have, so another image would be my suggestion too

I think you'd be better off binning that photo and asking for a decent one where the product is visible. There's too much contrast between black and yellow, too much yellow, and the product hardly features.

Maybe use these photos as examples of what you'd need to be useful. You could always replace the background if there's nothing useful in what you get

Hi Andy, late on watch here. I think with the alarm being coloured it washes it out completely so I've had a go at creating an animated gif of one which I've placed it centre on the page (The orange kneck ties need altering, the yellow colour distracts). Also I initially missed the point that these security fobs were being used in an industrial setting as Daniel seemed to think they are usually used in isolated elderly/infirm folks, so to get around this limitation I've surrounded the fob with photo's trying to stress the many uses.

I do like Egg's demo for the alarm. I think this is something that Andy could build off of.

I'm not actually sure what the device does, but in highlighting the elderly "fall alarm" photos, my intention was to show how a product of a similar size (and presumably not too dissimilar function) could be shown in a photo. Those devices are more visible in those photos than the original product was, lost in the big construction site photos.

It's a tough one to handle, and I don't envy Andy - especially with the images he's been dealt!
