The shadows created by the sun give an almost 3 dimensional feel to the image…like you could actually step into it. The other is way, way too flat for my taste, though if one is going for an illustration-type look, the overcast one succeeds very well at that.

Greetings from across the pond.

Which image do I prefer? Well I guess it depends what I’d be using the image for. I think the soft sunlit image is more pleasing artistically but if I wanted to illustrate the identification features of Red-tail I’d go for the overcast. I know this seems a bit of a fudge but I think likely usuage makes a big difference to the answer.

Colin
