#2

Both are great captures Jack - I like the first because you have a clearer view of the bird and its environment and the second because of the action. If pressed I would say that #1 is stronger only because in the second it's harder to see the features of the bird due to the angle of shooting. Love the suspended water drops in both!

Nicely done, jack. A 'must view' in the larger size.

Nice shots. The frozen water drops are awesome. Beautiful lighting, too.

I'd go with that.

Very much a case of taking just an everyday event and making a very impressive picture from it.

HI Jack,

As said above, both are great captures.

I (and I'm sure others) was interested in the shutter speed used for the frozen drops, so I reproduce the EXIF data here:

Canon EOS 5D Mark III 560mm, at 1/2500s, f/4.5 and 500 iso (both shots identical)

Cheers,

[Bobobird]

haha, #2 is too cute.

[Brownbear]
