Very nice, I love the water drops. Thank you for sharing, Will.

Will:
Soft light, handsome bird, sharp and well exposed. As Joe mentioned the drops are great. The contrast against the black crown is outstanding. As I just mentioned in my post above yours, often the more challenging weather can yield some unique pictures.
Very well captured.
Cheers

Those drops really do make this image quite special! Good comp.
SH, EXP, Image Design, soft BKGR, and water droplets superb. Is anyone seeing a bit of magenta in the grey feathers? Headed that way soon :)

Hi Arthur, Its a spectacular island, as you know, especially at this time of the year. That was my third trip, this season. The weather has been a wee bit dodgy, but it is starting to pick up now :) Two of my trips were cancelled last month, because of the weather. Good news, the Puffins and Arctic terns are up in numbers this yearHope you have a great time.
Will
Thanks Bill. I was there only once and that very briefly... We had just found the puffins landing right at us into a 40knot wind, just hanging there in front of those with beaks full of fish. Then the landing was called due to the high tide and we had to go back to the ship :(

I think that might stem from the deep colour of the 'bill' Artie, looks a bit too Saturated, although tweaking the Tint slider seems to do the job and resolves things? Certainly removing the slight cast improves the image.Is anyone seeing a bit of magenta in the grey feathers?
Will are you making 'selective' adjustments via layers & masks, or Globally? Adjusting the highlights & White sliders also brings bait more detail/Definition to the plumage.
Hi Steve, sometimes globally, sometimes selective depending on the image.
I like this one Will. The details and the water drops are great and I like the overall colors. I do see a slight magenta cast to the whites too. Well done
