Christopher i like the angle of the head in the first one and this isnt a critique thread so i hesitate to make suggestions but you do need to get more sharpness in them,i clicked through to the hosted image but cant see your settings, as i say this is a fun thread so if you want me to shut up and go away,just say as no offense will be taken :D
 
A walk yesterday around RSPB Dungeness with changeable conditions.

And what I initially thought was a Mallard in Eclipse Plumage, I now think it might be a Gadwall? If somebody knows what it is, please let me know :D

The dog foxes up here are quite a size, I only seem to see them from the car, i'll get a shot someday.

I dont mind at all im still only a newbie :) I havent added any PP to the photos just exported them at 80% , I took a lot of photos and too many were soft so i was disappointed and didnt even bother to add anything to the useable ones .

I've uploaded it to dropbox if you want to see what magic you can work ;) https://www.dropbox.com/s/v9vuyxf4yabrjiv/CRW_5218.CRW?dl=0

I managed to pick up some nice old manual lenses in the past week so once the adapters arrive i'll take a trip up with some seed and bread :D

Just a matter of practice, plenty of mine still soft, oof etc..BUT it's fun and when one image comes out nicely, it's a great feeling.
 
Couple of noisy crops from today - it kept flying around in circles when I disturbed it in the bottom field

lots of pp on these two shots

A quick one because ime going out i will look closer tomorrow but looking at your file numbers i think you are shooting raw,if so they need processing including sharpening,if no one else picks this up as i say will look tomorrow.
 
I visit Martin Mere quite often, keep hoping to even see the Kingfisher or maybe a close up of the Lapwings, instead it's the Great Crane again, I did give a little more room this time..

I did get a couple of shots where you could quite clearlt see the nictitating membrane that birds have..
