Drake Mallard sitting on a log so close sunning himself, Nashua River in Massachusetts.  He was so close and I zoomed in as much as the lens would allow and I think this would be considered a close-up.

Norma, you've got all the ingredients here in this fine Mallard "portrait" (head and shoulders view), fine details throughout, good color in his head and a nice catch light in his eye.  (My, arbitrary very flexible, rule of thumb for "close up" is roughly 12 inches on the long side.)
