Full-Frontal Puffin...

[Nicki Gwynn Jones]

Hi Folks,
Taken at Skomer Island, UK a couple of weeks ago. I am always looking to portray the subject in an unusual light - there are so many puffin pictures out there...
40D 100-400IS
ISO 400
F8 1/800
10am, cloudy sky
Hope it raises a smile - many thanks as always,
Nicki

I think he could be a stand in for Kun Fu Panda !!!!

Love the pose, would consider just a little more room particularly at the bottom but still keeping a tight portrait !!! Love those puffins !!!! btw sure had some nice light for this one !!!!

[Nonda Surratt]

Such wonderful birds!!! Nice job!

[Doug Brown]

Great stuff Nicki! I too think this bird could use a bit more room all around. Even if the feet are obscured by vegetation, my eye wants to see the area where the feet should be. Thanks for posting!
