#1 seems to be a bit soft
#2 looks sharper, and would be my preference of the 2

#3 looks good as well. More detail in the blown up version. I think this might be the best one. More subject in the frame and less background.

My 2c worth.

Colin,

All three are great. When compared to the other two, the first is a little soft - although would have been fine on its own. :P

The detail on the third one is incredible.

Seeing the spike on the head, it is no wonder they bloody hurt.

I would be happy with all 3.
#3 is outstanding

Are these different crops of the same image? If so, I'd pick #3 but leave a bit more room to the left and top. The close-up works well for me. Just don't make it look so caged in. I like the colour in the eye. Maybe that can be, ehem, enhanced a bit in PP?

Cheers
Steffen.

#3 is cropped too tight IMO. It needs more room on the left.

#2 is my favourite composition-wise and overall, but I'd add a "WOW!!" to #3 for the amount of detail in the shot!

Thankyou all for the constructive comments.
All are from the same capture. #1 and #2 are the whole image that was sharpened at differnt stages of size manipultion, and you seem to agree with what I thought.
#3 is a crop from the centre that has been resized.
Once again thanks,
Regards Colin
