Brown Thrasher #2

I actually like this image better than the first one, although I had clipped the tail and needed to make it whole.
Still not a good low angle because I was shooting from the car.

I know they both have their own problems, but which one do you folks like better? If either.:)

Thanks for looking,

ann

Hi Ann Would go for the other, like view more form the side than top, for this one I would give more room all around .. seems tight !! ..btw go tail repair !!!

[Tom Graham]

Like first more, mainly for lower angle. Also this one has problems for me with the beak, shadow, and surrounding plants and sharpness there.

Hi Anne - previous one for me for the lower shooting angle.
Keep em coming.

[Dave Mills]

Hi Anne, I agree! first one with lower shooting angle.

[Dave Leroy]

First one for reasons mentioned.
A really nice job on the tail reconstruction.

Thanks again! Guess it's a consensus. :) Appreciate the input. Glad you like the tail repair, I was happy with it. The last picture he dug in and got what he was after here, but I didn't repair the tail on that one.
