This is another one of my local sea birds which nests on the nearby islands.

Thanks for looking and all advice appreciated .

Very nice image, I like the HA, the 'catch' in its mouth, good composition and perch.

[John Robinson]

Yes youv'e nailed this one William. I do miss the sea stuff.
Very envious.

William:

As mentioned, nice perch, pose, fish, all good.

The image reads a bit low in contrast to me, and I would consider a modest boost in contrast.

Well captured.

Cheers

Randy

Great looking Puffin shot. It's got it all. Pose, fish, perch, exposure, detail and nice blue BG. Well done

[Ian Wilson]

Corker of a shot William! I hope to see these birds some time. I think Randy is on the right track regarding contrast. Cheers, Ian

[William Dickson]

Thanks guys, here's a repost with more contrast,

[Ian Wilson]

I think that's the answer William. The bird looks great, well done! Cheers, Ian

[Binu John]

Wonderful shot! Love the pose, perch, background and light. Wish it was mine.

[Jonathan Ashton]

My first reaction was - more contrast needed, I see you have fixed it great shot if I have to find a minor fault it would be the tip of the tail is partly obscured but from a personal standpoint it doesn't bother me.

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Superb on all counts William. If I were force to find a crit, I too would say that I wish the tail wasn't partly touching. You've got some artifact below the rump in the RP. Nicely done and looking forward to more.
