Overall, I like #1. If you zoom in closer, you see that # 2 is a little soft in the focus, especially the eyes. So # 1 is the best in my opinion. However, the colors seem to me to be over saturated, especially in the trees behind the animal. There is also a fair bit of color noise in the fur on the hind quarters. If the judges are looking for technically proficient images, I think you would lose points. If it were my image, I would desaturate it a little bit, especially in the yellows. I would remove as much color noise in the fur as possible. Or I would convert it to black and white and let the power of the image shine.
But what do I know? That's the reason I don't do contests. LOL

Thank you very much Basil_O for your comment. I can agree with you on the colors being somewhat over saturated but will most likely not change them. I like them as is to enter the contest. IF I lose because of the colors I still like my photos. As you say and I agree about myself, what do I know?
