    DAN:

    Nicely exposed, appropriate title,great pops of color, effective DOF.

    I like that the 3rd bird is also interacting visually. I could however also see a vertical with just the 2 main birds.

    Cheers

    This is superb, Dan!

    So much happening in this frame, and I love the facial expressions from the subjects!

    Love the colours, IQ, DOF, POV, but especially the inclusion of a little envious chap in the bottom right corner...

    Well exposed and processed, lovely soft BG - Puffins stand out beautifully!

    Truly enjoyed viewing, thank you so much for sharing:)

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    The two birds together asre nice but the third bird adds to the image enormously. A lovely image.

    Love puffins and they are on my to do list for sure. I would like to see the OOF bird removed from the image. It draws too much attention away from the two already great subjects. Great job with managing your DOF with the two birds in those positions.

    Hi Dan - Great job on the exposure and the title is perfect. I think the third puffin adds to the image and the story. Seems like it is waiting for the eels to be dropped.

    TFS,
    Rachel
