    This is the kind of shot all Puffin shooters are dreaming about.

    Great image, nice catch! I always wonder how they could grab so many fish at one time! Good exposure and details. The OOF rock is just a tad distracting, a slightly lower point of view may be able to avoid it. Loi

    So glad you posted this one Petros.
    There is nothing I would change in this breath-taking image! I donīt agree with Loi Nguyen as that rock gives depth to the image, well at least it makes sense to my eye. Now if you twist my arm
    I would tone down the white blobs but just a tad.
