Fabulous....focus on the goose and owl(?), better than on the swan?.....my amateur perspective. Down to the tiny drops of water behind the beak of the goose and tiny feathers of the owl and the colour of its eyes.
I personally would be very happy with those...are you a pro?

all are great and they seem fantastic. But the owl really knocks me off, what a great closeup.

Great portraits. The owl is awesome. However, I think focus is slightly off on the swan.
Best regards

Hi guys, thanks for the comments, appreciated.
Was lying on a river bank taking the first 2 shots testing out the Sigma 100-300 F4, and was trying to use the advice picked up here of focussing on the eyes. The goose was quite happy to pose, but the swan was more cautious so couldn't get the right angle on him, but I did manage to get the eyes in focus so I'm getting there!
The owl was a bit of a cheat as he was in captivity, and I'm not quite happy with the composition (this isn't a crop!), but as soon as he made a noise, just had to hit the trigger!
