I really like the first one, a defiant wall hanger

I like the second image. I think the increased visibility of the yellow patches is worth the trade of giving up the subject isolating green background.

Very nice job.

I gonna set on the fence and say I like them both equally, though I'm leaning towards #2.

The first one is like a perfect specimen of the bird. Detailed and exposed. The second one, to me, is art! Bokeh, interesting perch and of course, the bird!
