The extra headroom looks good but then the saturated, high intensity grass becomes a bit of a distraction.
Between the two, the first keeps my attention on the bird better.

Dear Wasabi...Thanks for your positive diagnosis on headroom and heads up on the neon grass distraction. Muchas Gracious Senior!

Well, Don - Well, You asked!!! Actually, I like parts of both - the pose of the first, the colors and the framing of the second, (not that it was all THAT uncomfortable in the first, but I do like the head turn #2). The iridescence in #2 is excellent, but, I'd say the grass coloring needs help in the second - ready for some Photoshopping? Do you sharpen and saturate strongly? My preference is to do as little as possible of either, they lead to haloing in both and weird colors in #2, but this clearly goes into the realm of photographer (YOUR!) preferences! Were I you, I'd listed to the other photographers more than to me, myself or I, and mostly to you. But, thanks for the request.

I find the bird to be uncomfortably confined in a too small space. Perhaps it's due to the bold black border.
