Second one is good Stepheno but the neck is just a bit blown ... imo ?

First one is missing the eye contact to make it !

TFS ...

Thanks Ven....agreed and agreed. But the neck is a fine line IMO. TFL.

Also agree, the second has very good detail, can even make out the serations on its bill, also the eye contact adds to it.
Also I think the first is a little soft - there doesnt appear to be alot of detail in the feathers compared to the second shot, where everything is bang on.

Thanks for sharing:thumb:

I appreciate the feedback, Warspite - and you're right, the difference between the shots is noticable. TFL.
