    I like the concept a lot and a neat view, but it looks so close that the DOF just didn't get the beak sharp.

    Not sure if you are allowed flash at this location, but I feel some fill would have been good here, especially for the eyes. If not then some PP to enhance the irises could be good...I'm used to seeing these guys with lighter irises. Love the in-your-face pose though, looks a bit sad. Good details. Looks low in the frame, I could see about 60% of the above space cropped out, or having pointed your lens a wee bit lower. Fun image!

    Thanks for the replies much appreciated, have a few more I will post, trouble is Puffins have been done to death so difficult to come up with something different, Its a beach location so you could use flash and with the sunlight on the water i doubt it would have upset these birds,
    afraid they all look a bit sad, my next post will highlight that feature
