I have it narrowed down to two of the 100 or so shots I took during this most amusing of photo shoots. I have a lot more respect for animal photographers now. Anyway, I can't decide which one of these I like the best. I can do some cropping on the one where the underside of the table is showing, so that's a non-issue, but there's things I like and don't like about both of them. What are your thoughts?

Choice one:



Choice two:

Can't they agree on being awesome at once??? Can you use both pics on a card? Showing your macaw progression would be awesome, lollll!! Even your Amazon, your macaw has his neck really stretched out making a bigger scene,lol. Both fids look awesome.

If it was me, I would cut Charlette out from pic#2 with photoshop, add her to the middle of pic # 1, crop out the top and bottom, and bring the sides in a bit. Darn birds never stay where you put them, right? Great idea though with all the penguin dolls, there's a fortune just in stuffed animals right there.

Yeah, that's not even half of the stuffed penguin collection. I do a huge penguin theme around the house every year.

I actually went with number one. It was a tough decision. But Goofy was really earning his name in that one, and Leo was a tad bit more visible, though he still kind of hides.

And Gail, the drawing is simply amazing. I'm so thrilled.
