I know the thumb nail looks almost identical, but I'm interested in knowing if there's a preference for the two slightly different head turns. Please compare with my last post.

1Div, 500mm f4 ISL + 2.0TC, jobu Gimbal on RRS legs, f10, 1/320, iso 500, -2/3 stop compensation, aperture priority. Same processing as last image and crops are the same within a few pixels. This is two frames later than the previous post.

I really value your critiques.

Thanks for looking,

Both are very nice. I prefer this one slightly; there's a bit more separation between the bill and the chest and the head and the stalk, which I think improves the shot. In both, you might try experiment in Photoshop with pulling down the highlights on the belly and chest just a little bit. But a fine shot, Dennis, in both cases.

Yes, a bit more space in front of the face.. and the head seems to be turned slightly more to the front.
This one's the keeper, excellent work Dennis
