Balance or imbalance?

[arash_hazeghi]

I found these two pics on my old HDD, these were among my first 100 bird shots I took in 2006. The White-tailed was trying to balance herself on the wire, I took a sequence of 20 shots, some are really funny. But there are these two that I liked to work on, wire isn't such a great perch and in one of the shots is blocking the wing (lol I didn't know what a good shot supposed to be back then!), but at least detail isn't bad. Which one do you like better?

Hi Arash,
I like both captures...I agree with Mr. Peters on the sequence...:cool:

I like A better than B If ethics and time allowed it, cloning the wire out of pic A would be interesting.

Hi Arash, Two well exposed attractive images. I would prefer the image without the wire cutting through the bird.

What should I replace the wire with, claws must hold something, any ideas?

[Ron Boisvert]

Hi Arash, I also agree with Lance, and if you are so inclined, a straight and skinny stick should fit in those claws!;)

I agree with DMills- the one without the wire cutting throught the bird. Both are nice!
