I like the look back pose, exposure control, IQ, catch, water color and composition. Is the perch hard packed soil? The HA is on the verge of being to far but still good. I would love to get a shot like this one day. Excellent image Dan!

This looks awesome Dan! I really like everything about this frame from the nice pose with all those clear little Eels in it's mouth to the great exposure and details. The colors of the Puffin look beautiful against that darker blue ocean BG. Very nice!

This is really nice Dan. The puffing pops of the BG and the beak full of Eels is just classic.

Unusual perch (which I like!) for this fella. Lots of vibrancy to the colours. Neat catch too. Looks like there is a repeating pattern directly behind the tail...either way a easy fix.
The classic image that I would love to have in my files!
Just love the colors in this image.The dark blue ocean really sets off the beak colors wonderfully!
Really like this image!TFS
Nice image, Dan. Love the rich blues and the snack.
Hi Dan - Puffins are one of my favorite birds and you have captured this one very well. Great colors and bg and the food just takes it up a notch. Looks like the light was a bit bright but you handled the exp well.
TFS,
Rachel
