I would appreciate if you would let me know, choose - #1 or #2

#1; I like the greater-environment view; more aesthetic. I used to be the only one hiking around the south end of Lake Apopka in 1978 when the orange groves came right up to the edge; ahhh, the scent of those orange blossoms, great memories.

2 for me. Great crop showing off the main subject of your photo.

Number 2 for me. The first is a photo anybody with a point and shoot could take, the second is sharply detailed and of much more interest to those of us who appreciate the finer points of a photo. That is not to say there is no value to #1. I guess it depends to a large extent what you value in a photo. Of course, I realize that in today!s market 2 cents doesn’t buy much.

Howard - I just LOVE your capture of this beautiful Female Anhinga!! My fav is #2. I agree with Ruthlessrider's reason for choosing #2!!

#1 shows more habitat which tells its own story. #2 shows more bird detail which emphasizes archival detail.

Nice capture! You cropped it exactly as I would have.
The bird is the star here.

Neither one. #2 the feet appear to be put in and not natural. #1 you are too far from the subject, and in both you show the hand of man.

Spot on - the bottom of the bird's feet are missing as is portion of the top of the right-most fence post. So, while this is not an "original" photograph, # 1 appears better because it does not emphasize the post processing as much.

I must not be viewing the same photo. How do you show the bottom of the feet when they are standing on a solid piece of wood? In bird photography it is about the subject and most times you have to crop because you can't get too close or the bird will fly away.
