Masked Lapwing
This bird has taken up residence in my front yard. I hope with Spring on the way that we might have a nest.
1DXII 400mm F/2.8L II & 2XIII 800mm 1/4000 f7.1 iso800 EV-0.3 Induro tripod Benbo gimbal head
Cropped from horizontal gentle S&H and light sharpening
Nice low angle. Light looks pretty harsh. Neat looking bird.
Nice contrast between the subject and the BG I also like the head on pose and while the light is a little harsh it was handled well.

Nice pose coming straight at you...great background and OOF transition. For me, I'd rather not have the foreground OOF area and crop up a bit to eliminate most or all of it. As mentioned the light looks harsh and maybe the breast is a bit hot but I'm looking on my fairly bright laptop/glossy screen so maybe not an issue on a proper monitor.
