I like the first one because it gives my eyes more to explore. I love it when there's a dominant subject but then other stuff to explore like is that a fish that I thought was real for a second and that the water is wider than I first think judging by the size of the boy on the bike and the person sitting on the far shore.

Frog's comment is right on.... lol, i too thought the fish was real and was about to express my amazement at your having been able to capture the fish mid flight...

The problem with the second... is the tight crop... cutting the tail and flap (is that what their feet are called :s) hurt the picture... and they could have still used some more space in front of them!

Nice colors on the first though... as well as the composition... good job!

Whereas I like the second image better for the lack of distractions that are in the first image.

LOL, this is a tough place.
