Do you have a preference? The first image was taken in the same sequence as the second image but I've manipulated the background in image one to add some space around the kingfisher.

They're both brilliant images, but for me it would be something in between! Depends whether you might use the image for prints or say a mag cover where you might need more space! |

I like the first as it gives the impression of the Kingfisher flying into the space, if you know what I mean

I prefer the first. The bird is still large enough to see the detail, and the background helps to make it a more appealing image, in my opinion anyway! |

I think I prefer the first as well.
I'm impressed that while most of us have to crop our images, you do the reverse! Being too close to the birds I photograph is not normally a problem that I have

I prefer the first one too Kev.
I think where you have movement 'frozen' but still wish to portray the perception of movement it helps. Even more so with no background distraction.
Again, both are excellent

I like the first one best. It is a classic rule for photography to give something moving somwhere to move into.

Kev
Another vote for the first one from me too.
I just think that photo conveys some space around the Kingfisher and a sense of direction as to where it is flying to.
Having said that, I would be pleased in getting either photo. Kingfisher is still on my "missing" list.
