Inspired by Fabs' image of the other day. This from Elliston, Newfoundland. As some of you probably know, puffins frequently land at the spot where photographers and birdwatchers are located opposite the seastack in Elliston. Unfortunately, during about 12 hours over 2 days, only ONE puffin landed, and we had about 15 minutes to capture it.
Wondering what you think about the head angle of this one, after having looked at Artie's posts, and other comments, in Educational Resources. We have a good, almost parallel look, with good viz of eye and bill, bugt not sure if the bird is slightly turned away, and whether this is suboptimal.
Nikon D300, 600 mm f/4; f/16, 1/320 sec, ISO 200, with 1.7 TC, aperture priority
NB: background ocean already desatted a bit; thought about cloning out beak shadow, but left it.
