DSS#9 Last request for help, I promise!

I had a great opportunity late in the day today (or at least I think). Would like to know if anyone thinks any of the following are better than my current entry.
Current entry

New ones
#1 "Robin" the Last Rays of the Day for a Dip

Thanks for taking the time!

Well, I really like your current entry, but I really like the birds also. Hmmmm. Tough choice!

I love the composition in the first bird pic, but I love that you have 3 birds in the last one. I just wish that comp was vertical to include all of the bird feeder.

At least you have a good problem--too many good choices! Everything I've done has been boring! Good luck deciding.

Thanks Sherry! What are you talking about, you have some great pics!

Karin, I like your current entry, and I also like #1 (best of the new ones imo). Like Sherry said, you have lots of choices. :barb

#3 looks like a fight. Interesting and I agree #1 is the best of the new.

In your current entry my eye is totally drawn to the mail boxes. It is intriguing photo.

#3 i think

Thanks Dan, Chillwag, leaforte and pyro :D

Thanks Dan, Chillwag, leaforte and pyro :D

Choices indeed (and I still really like your gulls, too - that is such a neat picture!)

I like the light in #3, but the comp in #1 is more serene and still somehow (actually, if you hadn't said it was dusk I would have assumed dawn - don't know why, but somehow it seemed morning-ish to me!)

All that said, I think the light on the mist in #1 is really quite magical, so on balance I'd stick with that one even though the birds are great shots too!

Thanks divamum, I'm thinking that with this theme, my current entry is probably my best shot,
even though I am happy with my birds, they are probably best for something else :D
