Now I'm confused a bit myself. I pulled up both and had another more critical look. I really can't even be sure I see a difference. Should have done this prior to commenting. I recall with the first, wondering about there being a little back focus. The background greenery was somewhat sharp for that lens and setting (f/5.6). The second shot didn't show the same background focus and that may have influenced me as I further checked its focus. Wasn't aware of the relative distances. I stand corrected! :-)
