Not that I don’t like image 2, I just much prefer image 1.

I too was instantly struck by the piece of dead grass in image 1. I’ve never seen you do that, Artie, but it’s the kind of thing I do all the time. And it doesn’t bother me at all. I also noticed the clipped left wing in image 2, and it doesn’t bother me either, but I prefer an even tighter crop when I clip a wing.
