A very nice portrait! Good short DOF and a good light. The POV is really traditional portrait style for humans but that does not make it any less good.

Beautiful close-up of this bird with the monkish hairdo ;-) Good light and wonderful definition in the feathers.

Very good potrait of the plover. I could not get so close to these guys as you did. The feathers looks so soft… Very well done!
