I didn't notice the lady in red either! I totally love these shots and I too prefer the first one despite the cropping being a 'lil tight! There's so much emotions in that shot! The fantastic trust and bond between the old man and the bird! What a beautifully serene scene! I also love the light...soft, calm, inviting! And old people hands are like a book and they make me cry...! And that duck is a real beauty! ;) Fantastic shots, in short! Yep!
