Long-tail Hummer, help pick one

Help, which of these hummer pics do you like the best. Will be entering one of them in a small local contest, at a public gallery.

Tough call! Both are very good. There's a better view of the bird on the second one, but I think the composition's a little better in the top one, with the uncluttered background and the entire flower included. It's a close call, but I'd go with the top one. Good luck!

Geez, hard to call that Paul, both are fantastic. The wing angle in the second shows the bird off better, but the wing blur in the first really looks terrific. At first look I thought the second, but then I find I am leaning towards the first. I am glad it is your decision and not mine haha

Very nice. The signature kills the images. Sadly!

Paul both are nice but I would submit the first one because the background bokeh is more uniform.

Thanks so much for the help, I think I will go with the first.
