Puffin
Hi
Took a trip up to the Farne Island off north-east England this week. Unfortunately my booked trip coincided with a foggy day, although this did not deter the constant stream of puffins flying into the island with sandeels
Taken with 1Dmk3 and 500mm lens at ISO 400, F5, +0.67EV, 1/1600s.

Wow! Incredible photo! I would only try to liven up the eyes a little.
Maybe a tad more contrast and agree about the eyes. Other then that you got the photo I tried to get in Alaska last year to no avail. One to be proud of.
Excellent head-on shot, love the motion blur of the wings. Agree with the above re: eyes.
Great incoming pose, it really shows how fast the wing flap is. The sandeels add to it. Good suggestion regarding the eye.
Agree ..... One fine in your face puffin image !!!! Big Congrats !!!!!
Stunner !
Lovely image, unique perspective of Puffin in flight. Eels in its mouth is sure add on !
Amazing and killer shot. Excellent done.
Great action,congrats!!!
Great capture and fluffy wings...:cool:
Super head-on image! Although the sky is dull, the action and pose more than makes up for it. The wing blur is beautiful.
just awesome!!! love the feet!!!
Superb image!!
Thanks for the replies. I would be interest in suggestions on how the eyes could be enlivened. IF you are ever in the UK in the summer then put the Farnes Islands on your places to visit. My main recommendation would be to take a could hat with you though as the Arctic Terns take great pleasure in attacking the visitors heads.
