Quite the charming fellow, Peter. Were you worried about having a GeeBee
moment?
The second version (crop) is my favourite for the alert posture and the
greater DoF.

Cheers

We were sitting on a mountain rock slide at 8200 feet (2500 m).  Look who 
decided to join us for lunch.  I had a 28/3.5 on the M8, but fortunately it 
crops down well.

Here's the context:

And here's the same shot cropped tighter, without the boot.

A couple of minutes later, I had the 90/3.5 VC on the camera, and managed 
to fill the frame with one of his cohorts.

These little guys are FAST, but their desire to "have what you're having" 
gives the photographer a fighting chance.
