Number 2

Number 1 for me, I prefer the composition.

Both are excellent shot ,the thing will be how much text is going to be added and how large witch will dominate the poster

#1 for me also

Both are great shots; I prefer no. 1 as you can see his back.

Beautiful common Kingfisher and well captured.

The first one for me as well. Both are beautiful, but you can see the whole bird on #1.

wow. one of my favourite birds. awesome job. i would say #1 as well.

A tough one. On #1 the whole branch isn't in focus but the bird is placed better. On #2 you have everything in focus but I think the bird is a bit too close, at least for my taste.

I say #2 is the best out of these.

i would say number 2, nailed the composition in that one. well balaned. great job!

I prefer #1. Great shots though!

The are both absolutely stunning, I would give the proverbial right arm to take these, congratulations.

Difficult to choose, I like the extra space in #1 although #2 is closer. I think I would say #2 merely because of the slightly distracting highlight top left in #1.

Either one I would be thrilled to submit.

Fantastic.
So beautiful.
