Hi,

I'm interested to know how you respond to these shots and which you think looks best. I'm torn between the two extreme shots.

They're straight off the card, with just Apple's raw conversion applied, so I'm sure they need sharpening, cropping etc.

Well, everyone gets to have their own opinion... me, I'd go with the middle one of the three although the third one is the most unusual.

The second one. Both of the others are less 'clear'. The first has lines that cross each other and the third one is confusing.

Yep...the second is the one I would choose, also. All three are visible and there's plenty of separation between the two on the left and the one fella looking your way.

Right on! I also vote for the second one.

The tail on the first one is distracting. Two Kuku's heads are aligned in the third one and it could have been "nice" if all three heads were aligned, I'm not sure though.

2nd one too...

first has the tail flipped up that I mistook for a bush

last one just doesn't appeal to me.

I don't think I've ever seen such unanimity on this site! Thank you all.
