The choice of a "better" photo is influenced by the target audience; from a birder's perspective the first photo has more to offer. I often try to find an alternate view of the bird, one I don't often see in a field guide, that is visually stimulating as well as offering some biological or ecological info. I consider both of these works in progress because I want to combine the the technical quality (and then some) of the bird in the first photo with the visual attraction of the 2nd photo.
