I am a hack so take this feedback for what it is worth.....I like the tucked in for the following reasons:
1. DOF on extended neck is too deep in my opinion such that the background, which is pretty chaotic, makes it hard to focus on the subject.
2. I think the tucked in is better overall because the subject is fully and pretty evenly lit, the background directly around the bird is water and what other background scenery that is present is sufficiently blurred to not draw the eye away from the subject. That picture also seems to be sharper but it could be how my mind is interpreting the information based on what I outline above.
Even with all that said, I like and would keep them both but if it came to printing and framing, only tucked in would get the extra investment from me.
