The 2nd (lighter) post looks better. The bird and BKGR are both very nice but the head is turned away--a close to fatal flaw...especially with the light from the left you needed the bird's head turned slightly towards you.

Crisp detail on this subtly beautiful bird. As Artie mentioned, the head angle is not ideal. Agree also that the lighter version is better. I'm looking forward to seeing the male.
