Terrific landing pose on this puffin, Alan. The exposure is spot on and the bird is full of details, esp in the wings. The angle is terrific, and I love the BG and those feet. You must have had a big bring on your face while you were pressing on the shutter for this one.

Really nice flight shot and great details, Alan.

Alan, This is another fantastic capture...Love the incoming pose, details and exposure...

[Melvin Grey]

Wow, you really nailed this one! Great wing positions and sharp plumage detail. I am sure that, like our North Atlantic Puffin, those wings are pushed to their limit to keep that dumpy little body up in the air! A great series of shots, Alan - fantastic location.
