The 2nd you seem to have focussed on the fingers and shoulder but it doesnt take much from the image.
Catch lights in her eyes in the first are really good as is the Hair Lighting.

What I don't like about No 1 is the lower contrast - there are no highlights left whatsoever, which does reduce the "sparkle" of the image.
Just out of curiosity, where exactly did you focus and what aperture and shutter speed did you use?
Handheld @ 400mm, f8, 1/125, i was positive i was focusing on the face although he was about 20 foot up in a tree.

Although no one seemed to spot the difference (difficult at those sizes)
The first has been run through Focus Magic and by god the original was a country mile off.
I will now need to get the focus test done as a matter of urgency over the weekend.
I called Sigma today about it and when i told him what camera he advised me to do Manual and AF tests.

One slight difference though.
Which would you say is best?

Also i have to agree with you both on the Focus. I thought it was just me but i have noticed it in a few pictures.

Excelent shot Craig, though this one looks a bit too young to be out of the nest?
It may well be cute but it'll probably end up in the jaws of a cat if it cant fly properly, isn't nature a bummer
They were all in a 5 to 10 yard radius of each other.
It could fly but for some strange reason just seemed quite happy following me around.
