both stunning captures, imo i think number 1, both both a top.

"A" Arash, like the wings more outstretched. Looks like a more dynamic pose. Also the sky looks better and the second doesn't have the same appeal to me with the wings in a flatter position.

Hi Arash,
I like the second one the best. I like the head on capture with the direct sharp eye contact and the outstretched wings. The color rendition is good and I like the fine feather details...well done Sir...keep them coming..:cool:

[david cramer]

Wings up. First one.

[Gail Spitler]

I agree with #1: wings up - more dramatic, more dynamic
Love the image.
Cheers

[Lance Peters]

A - wings up for me.

[John Goldman]

I prefer A. The underside wing detail makes the difference, for me. Both captures are very nice.
Great eye contact, sharpness, color, composition. Nothing for me to dislike!

[Ed Cordes]

I like A better. The up swept wing tips, to me, look better. Both are great images.

[Oscar Zangroniz]

Another vote for A. Wings up.
Great capture.

[Bill Dix]

One more vote for A. I like the upturned primaries, and the wing position. Great look from the hawk in both of them. Well done!

[Mack Hicks]

I like A as well a tad better as well. Both are suberb.

[Ray Rozema]

Arash

Both are great, obviously
A slightly better wings up

TFS:)

[Richard Waas]

Another vote for the wings up, "A". Also it appears to have less color cast.
