To cross or not to cross?

A huemul stag wanted to cross the stream for the richer grazing on the other side, but was a bit hesitant about crossing the faster deeper water on the far side of the Estero Mallines O Paso las Mulas and turned back toward the near shore where I was standing. Carretara Austral, Patagonia.

Please take a look at the two shots combined into one making a double exposure and let me know which you prefer.

    That's a hard choice. Together they tell a story. Both are excellent captures.

    Both of these are terrific shots so make a great collage! I might lean toward this one but the composite shot is excellent also!

    Well, as someone once said, "discretion is the better part of valor". Hope he keeps making wise decisions.

    I think this one tells the story of the hesitancy and the decision to turn around, just a little clearer than the other, but I like both.

    This is great, but I think I like the other better!
