2nd one is best, that extra bit on the left side of 1 is distracting :judge: :judge: :judge:

:agree:
Just wish there was a bit of a darker background so the subject would really jump out. To me, it blends in a little too much. It needs some shadows...

I cropped 1 in just a bit tighter, and did a little change with the contrast.

K I tightened up the crop a bit, and a small change with the contrast.

Good contrast, but the sharpest section is on the left side of the shot. The rest is very soft....

I think the other part that is distracting if the branch in the background. While it is out of focus, it is focused just enough to be distracting. A change in the angle the photo was taken would have helped this. They are good attempts though.
