    Hi Vincent,
    The horizon is defenitely better in this one IMO. It is lower and so shows more of the beautiful sky colour and bird flock. However, I feel the bird flock is more cluttered due to the OOF birds behind the sharp ones and this to my eye distracts a little from the power of this shot. Ideally you should have the same sharp flock of birds from the last shot and the amount of sky in this one. Altogether still a very very nice shot.

    Really love the sky and the action. The color of the sky is sweet indeed! Not so crazy about the bottom though as I feelit cuts too much into the image. I might be temped to clean up the partial birds around the edges.

    I still think this is a pretty image in spite of the points mentioned!!
