Stuart excellent portrait of the bird with very good sharp detail, the BG does look a bit noisy but that could be my fixation with noise so if I have it wrong please ignore me.

I like the sharpness, exposure, details and curves of the neck. I agree that the BG need some more NR. I tried a closer crop of the head, neck and upper body and liked it. Nice image Stuart.

Lovely portrait of the heron and nice composition
I cannot pinpoint what it is but it seems the face/eye area is either a bit washed out, or doesnt pop out against the background for some reason. Couldnt tell you whether it needs a play with the midtones or a bit more sharpening around the eye but it feels that it could do with something to take it up one more notch
May be my monitor though
Great shot and well done to get so close

Nice portrait. Love the neck pose and details.
I agree that the BG need some more NR

Second image is much nicer! A very nice portrait shot with bags of detail.

The second image appears to have had the background significantly improved, Stuart. Very nice work.
