Should I clone highlights out of the eyes. Please pick the one you like.

Here are two versions of a picture I took today.
I have be advised that when there are multiple bright spots in the eyes, all but one should be cloned out, because we only have one sun on this planet. I have mixed feeling. I think the three spots in the non-cloned give the eye, a kind of three dimension cue.
Which of the two versions is most believable and attractive to you?

I am inclined to agree with you. I like the three but I am not a professional either. I am sure you will get more valued opinions soon.

I just think that the one with only one spot looks more natural; in my opinion.

My experience in competition for bird shots..the judges like one clean catch light in each eye..get rid of one of them..probably the top one..

Hi Dave
I like both versions, and have no problems with multiple highlights in the eye. You did a nice job of stopping the motion and by not blowing out the light feathers.

I do like both images, and not sure there's enough to worry about cloning out anything.
