When returning to their burrows, puffins often touch bills - a sweet behavior that adds to the great appeal of these cute birds.

Great capture of this moment. I like the interaction, crop and BG. I might raise the color temperature a tad. Where did you make this image?

Terrific photo Linda. Very tender moment you've captured here. Technically excellent too.

Linda, I love this. You've captured a wonderful moment and it is technically superb of course. My first instinct was for a slightly tighter crop but I'm now not sure.

Best wishes.

Thanks Axel. The image was taken on Saltee Island, Ireland this past May,

I only wish the near bird's iris was more evident. Otherwise very delicate and touching (literally!!) composition.

I like this one very much, althought I would;ve gone with a diferent crop, I would've probably centered both heads in the frame. Still, as presented it looks great! Congratulaitons!

Gorgeous Linda. Perhaps a hair more of sharpening?
