Both are very good. My choice is #2 the direction of the beak adds more character to the photograph.

Number 2, because the portrait angle is more pleasing and natural. Sharpen the tip of the beak a little if you can.

I would enter the second shot - focus thru-out is excellent and the beak is very pronounced as is the whole bird.
Excellent work on both and best of luck.

You have a very hard choice to make! I think I prefer the first, the two blue eyes staring at me has a captivating quality but the beak is out of focus (and should be). However, the beak on the second one just shimmers and has a quality judges are looking for in a photo. Good luck in the contest, I think you have a good shot at winning.
PS: Let us know which one you choose to enter and then let us know when you win. When will you know the results?

Thanks Jake, it's a double-crested cormorant. If you scroll back through the thread, I posted a full body shot of the bird.
