PERFECT timing! shame the end of the wing is cropped. Outstading image nevertheless!

Hi Kris, the cropping was something I was not sure about, there is a leaf over the end of the wing and I decided to crop that out, but here is the original version (V2), I'm still unsure which is the best.

Love the movement in the wings, well captured.

Hi Mark,
everyting that I'm going to say further reflects only my personal opinion and under any sircumstamces can be accepted as something more than that 
---------
"...but here is the original version (V2), I'm still unsure which is the best."
You are right Mark, the second is better and that is why:
-it gives the whole atmosphere of the nature where this bird feels at home;
-the leaf in the image (something that brings you most at the state of hesitation) tells us that you, the author, do not change the natural environment to make it look different due to your own imagination of how it will look more attractive.
-the main subject of the image dominates and nothing distracts our attention from it. You leave it for the viewer to choose where to fix their attention. There will always be someone who sees far from what you wish them to see
-proportionally it also balanced better. On the first pic the bird is too big.
Thank you for reading
Sincerely
George
Great image, very well caught.
And yes, I did give her the web address Mark, I hope she likes them. Got another 3 going on tomorrow.
All the best,
John
