Thanks for having a look

Brilliant. The quintessential puffin image--perched on a rock, nice clean BG, and a mouthful of fish. Well done. I would crop some off the top, however.

Lovely image, William. The whites look a bit "muddy" though, so I would suggest in Photoshop using the selective color adjustment and lowering the black slider in the whites drop-down selection. I too would also crop a bit from the top.

Great lookback pose with nice perch, wonderful BG with the fish being a big bonus!

I think the "muddy" look is a color balance issue. OK to repost a version for your consideration?

Yes sure Mike

Excellent image. Very nice look back pose with mouth full of fishes, beautiful colors, nice perch, BG and composition.
Agree with Mike about whites.

Here is another take on the color balance ... see what you think.

Yes I like the colours of the whites now Mike. Can I see a blue tint on the chest feathers, or maybe its my monitor. But yes, it does look better. Thanks for that Mike
