    Both are great! The second one stands out just a smidge more only because of the sunlight in his eye.

    Both are VERY strong - love em

    I think I'll disagree here - Although the eye is better in shot 2 and I'm usually all about the eye, the extra (sharp) details in the bird's face and profile in shot one give it the edge imho. Whichever one u choose though...good choice

    Have to say #1 here also for reasons already said. More fine detail in the birds feathers, and I like the profile shot for such a majestic creature also.
    P.S.( Only one nitpick- You should have reached right in there and flicked that spec off just above the eye though.)
    Reality is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!
