I suspect Artie would prefer having the entire head, bill, and dragonfly against blue sky, as in Image 1, and that would be the normal choice. But Image 2 is close enough in that regard, and the dynamism and more dramatic view of the dragonfly’s size (almost filling those 4-inch mandibles) puts it on top for me. And I agree with Tim Griffy about the water. In Image 2, the blue water leads the viewer’s eye up to the bill and dragonfly rather than left and right.
