This is it in landscape. Strangely that was how I originally edited it

Hi Maggie,

I much prefer the landscape version, you have handled what appears to be very poor light very well.

ditto Phil's comment. A nice shot in obviously challenging light conditions.

I like both, one works as a study of the bird, and the second makes a nice composition.

I think I prefer the portrait, as I like them BIF.

Two very nice images, Maggie.

Hi Maggie.
The landscape is for me the one.

Landscape for me too Maggie. Lovely over the shoulder pose. A wee bit noise reduction on the background maybe?

The landscape for me also Maggie, very envious of your encounter too.
