With your patience I will continue to present posts with a couple of variations of the many bird images I recently took. Can use your general input as always, and especially your picks.
thanks
Here are two slight variations of a snowy egret
No flash.
I prefer some aspects of the slightly less pulled-in head of the first, but, as cropped, the second has better composition as well as better sharpness making it visually superior.
you are all confirming my impression
and Karen has summarized the reasons
I could sharpen the eye more int the first and I do like the slightly fuller hair on the back, but cant have it all!
