Re: 30mm 2.8 sample

That close to her, even 2.8 might give too narrow DOF. It looks to me like the focus is on the fur between her eye and her beak, with both her eye and beak falling a bit out of focus.

Eye is in focus, lower part of beak and area below eye looks out of focus to me.  She doesn't have fur, though, but she does have feathers. 

I do like to get close to them for certain shots.  I can keep experimenting with my various lenses but I can't use some of them at all because of space limitations.

If you think 2.8 is to shallow, what would you recommend?
