The first one is more balanced image as the whole tree top is positive space. When you close-up the two limbs, right and left of the perch, become negative space giving a less balanced feel. If you clone them out then the second image would be my favorite
In any case is a very pleasant capture with a great pose

They are both great, but I slightly prefer #1... Nice clean background with colors that complement the kite's colors.

Chris -
I had a dilemma on the cropping with this shot because of the question of how much environment to include in the shot versus how much to feature the bird. I'm counting on you all to let me know your thoughts.
Thanks.

How have you been? I haven't been able to shoot much in the last 6 months or more. That's why it was so gratifying and appropriate that a raptor was what got me back out there.

I know what you mean. But, I didn't want to clone the shot just yet. I shot this scene with others, so it would be pretty evident if surrounding branches were cloned out to clean it up (It's the altered reality thing). I'll probably do a shot just for myself where cloning will be involved and the bird will be more significant part of the frame.

vertical if you have a little more wiggle room?
